(BPT) - Durante la temporada de fiestas, siempre parece haber una lista interminable de tareas, desde reservar vuelos hasta comprar regalos para los seres queridos. Mientras te preparas para las festividades, también es fundamental estar atento a las estafas en línea que buscan robarte el dinero y la alegría.
Casi 1 de cada 3 consumidores reportó haber sido víctima de una estafa en línea durante la temporada de fiestas de 2024. Las estafas se vuelven más sofisticadas cada año, lo que las hace más convincentes y difíciles de detectar.
