Your mom got a “package delivery problem” text. Your kid got a “free gift” link. Your CFO got a “bank fraud team” call.
Meanwhile scammers are doing holiday volume like it’s Prime Day. 📦🎄
Even the delivery-text nonsense is spiking right before Christmas (including lookalike “tracking” lures). And the “family emergency” play is getting turbocharged with AI voice clones—because apparently criminals also got a 2025 upgrade. 🙃
Here’s the simple playbook:
Texts: never click. Track in the app/site you type.
Calls: hang up + call back a saved number. Use a family codeword.
Money: no legit org wants gift cards / crypto / wires.
Marketplaces: if they push Zelle/off-platform, walk.
Question: what’s your one rule you tell friends/family that actually sticks?
