In a recent phishing scam, cybercriminals are using real Facebook pages to impersonate Facebook itself. It starts with a fake email stating your account will be deactivated unless you click a link. That leads to a spoofed website that looks like a real Facebook login, which allows scammers to take hold of your account. Whether it be a comment, message, or e-mail, scams often come with urgent headlines designed to grab your attention, and the better business bureau warns any link can be suspicious.

Outside of Black Friday, Cyber Monday is the most popular day for people to make a dent in their holiday wish lists.   According to the National Retail Federation,  nearly 64 million people are expected to log on Monday to shop online.  But retail websites are not the only ones looking to lure shoppers to their site,  cyber criminals will be busy trying to be the grinch to ruin everybody's Christmas.
