更好的商业局正在警告不列颠哥伦比亚省居民假期骗局激增,包括假小狗上市 — — 其中高达80%可能是欺诈性的、误导性的社交媒体广告、假冒的进场日历和欺骗性的礼品交易。 The Better Business Bureau is warning British Columbia residents about a surge in holiday scams, including fake puppy listings—up to 80% of which may be fraudulent—misleading social media ads, counterfeit advent calendars, and deceptive gift exchanges. Scammers也扮演慈善机构的角色,提供假假日工作,需要预付费用,并利用“秘密姐妹”计划收取金钱或礼品。 Scammers also pose as charities, offer fake holiday jobs requiring upfront fees, and exploit "secret sisters" schemes to collect money or gifts. 当局敦促谨慎行事,建议人们核实卖主,避免预付款项,在捐款前确认慈善活动的合法性。 Authorities urge caution, advising people to verify sellers, avoid paying upfront, and confirm charity legitimacy before donating.
