As sure at the driven snow is white, the day after Cyber Monday you will get an email, text message or telephone call from someone purporting to be from your bank, credit card, Amazon, BestBuy, Walmart or Costco customer service rep or from UPS, FedEx or the Post Office claiming there was an issue with your purchase or that your package was delayed in shipping.

I call bullcrap.

Assume you meant “call” instead of “can”.

I’m a guy people call when they get scammed. I get calls every year during or after the holidays.

The time it takes to undo the damage is far longer than the few minutes it takes to learn how to avoid it.

I've been online shopping since Amazon sold only books and music, before a lot on this sub have been adults and I have never taken a call, text or email.

And, the driven snow remains white.

That you don’t see or recall it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. You’re probably savvy enough to recognize and dismiss it when you see it, or you don’t see it because something is blocking it for you.

Regardless, the metrics jump during the holiday season. I congratulate you on your good fortune.
