Got to pick a pocket?

’Tis the season to reference a different Charles Dickens classic, I know, but I happen to have Oliver Twist on the brain.

This December, you may be thinking about your holiday plans or finding the perfect gift for a loved one. As we embrace the joys of this season, make sure you don’t get Scrooged. Take precautions to protect yourself and your money from holiday scams.
