As the holidays approach, many consumers will head online to shop in search of good deals and convenience. But, remember - some deals may be too good to be true. As shoppers look for the best bang for their buck, it's important to remember that there are practices they can use to avoid getting scammed.
Join us as we get tips for online shopping, plus discuss potential scams affecting senior citizens and those who are taking part in the Medicare open enrollment period with our guests from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
Our guests will also answer listener questions, so we want to hear from you! Have you or a loved on been affected by a scam? What happened? What do you do to protect yourself against online scams? Which secruity measures do you use when shopping online? Have you been affected by a data breach? What did you do? Let us know about your questions and experiences by posting on The Ideas Network Facebook page, emailing ideas@wpr.org and mentioning @lmeillershow on Twitter.
