(WKBN) — Giving Tuesday is an annual day of giving, taking place the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. For scammers, it can be a day to find easy targets.
The Better Business Bureau says it’s important to be alert and protect your donations against scammers. Be wary of unsolicited and emotional appeals.
Scammers may try to prey on your emotions or encourage you to make rash decisions. The bureau encourages people to do research and give to well-known causes.
