The Better Business Bureau (BBB) announced on December 17, 2015 that the newest scam trying to get into the purses and pockets of unsuspecting Americans is called the Secret Sister Exchange. This particular scam invites individuals to list items in exchange with what they will receive from a secret sister – a sort of secret Santa. Once you give the scammers your items you will of course receive nothing back.
When an offer appears too good to be true know that it is too good to be true.  Simply because something appears on the Internet it does not mean that it is legitimate. The Internet is the quickest way to reach a huge number of people making it the ideal medium for scam artists.
