Statewide Iowa — Many thousands of Iowans are doing their holiday shopping online and they’ll need to be on the lookout for scams as they surf for sales.
Bao Vang, spokeswoman for the Better Business Bureau, says so-called “holiday” apps are springing up and you’ll need to steer clear.
If you get an offer for a free gift card this holiday season, Vang says be sure to read all of the fine print.
Vang says to do your research before clicking “yes” on a free gift card offer. You can also go to BBB’s ScamTracker online to find out more about potential scam offers.
