(Undated) – The Better Business Bureau is highlighting something called a “gift exchange” scam. BBB Investigator, Don O’Brien, says this popular social media scam sometimes revolves around exchanging bottles of wine or bourbon, another suggests purchasing $10 gifts online, and yet another asks you to submit your email to a list where participants get to pick a name and send money to strangers to “pay it forward.” O’Brien says none of these are legit.
O’Brien says as always if an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. He says your best bet is to stick to buying your friends gifts from trustworthy businesses and check BBB.org before you buy.
