Scams, Sales, and Holiday Shopping with the Better Business Bureau
In this episode of Mobile Mornings, Dalton welcomes longtime friend Evie Owen, Vice President of the South Alabama Better Business Bureau (BBB), for a timely conversation heading into the busiest shopping week of the year. With Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday right around the corner, Evie breaks down the latest scams, how scammers are targeting holiday shoppers, and the simple steps you can take to protect yourself online and in-store.
Evie explains how social media ads can trick even savvy shoppers, why “too good to be true” deals usually are, and how to safely navigate trending toy searches—yes, including that new Nintendo Switch 2. You’ll learn how to verify websites, what to check before clicking “Buy Now,” the importance of tracking your packages, and why opening deliveries right away matters more than you think.
She also sheds light on what BBB accreditation really means, how the BBB vets businesses, and how tools like BBB ScamTracker can help you avoid becoming the next victim. Whether you're looking for holiday deals or trying to stay one step ahead of scammers, this episode is packed with practical, easy-to-use tips.
Stay safe, shop smart, and support local this holiday season!
