NH Attorney General: Stay Alert – Tis the Season for Holiday Shopping Scams

Published on

Attorney General John M. Formella announces the release of the December edition of the Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau’s NH Consumer Insight newsletter.

This month the Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau of the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office is alerting residents about what to know when Holiday Shopping to help spot and avoid different types of potential scams.

Specifically, with online shopping and gift card frauds likely to rise this season, the AG’s Office is offering these essential tips to protect yourself:

  • Shop Safely: Verify websites, be cautious of “too good to be true” deals, and use credit cards for added protection.
  • Beware of Gift Card Scams: Never buy gift cards for someone you don’t know and avoid sharing card details with anyone.
  • Watch for Fake Charities: Confirm charity registration with the New Hampshire Charitable Trusts Unit before donating.

The newsletter is attached and can also be found by visiting: https://www.doj.nh.gov/citizens/consumer-protection-antitrust-bureau/nh-consumer-insight-newsletter.

Each installment of NH Consumer Insight highlights a relevant consumer protection issue and provides basic information that consumers can use to identify risks and protect themselves in the marketplace. If you are interested in subscribing to NH Consumer Insight, email Michael.S.Garrity@doj.nh.gov.
