flag BC warns of holiday scams: fake puppies, ads, charities, jobs, and gift schemes.

flag 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. flag Scammers also pose as charities, offer fake holiday jobs requiring upfront fees, and exploit "secret sisters" schemes to collect money or gifts. flag Authorities urge caution, advising people to verify sellers, avoid paying upfront, and confirm charity legitimacy before donating.
