As the holiday season approaches, authorities and organizations are raising awareness about the increase in financial scams. A Las Vegas woman has shared her experience to warn others about potential online fraud. The Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) is actively working with international partners to combat financial crime and protect individuals from scams that can lead to significant losses. During this time of year, NV Energy has also issued warnings to its customers to remain vigilant against scams, which tend to rise during the holidays. The Logan City Police Department recently recovered $10,000 from a scam and is urging the public to be hyper-aware of financial fraud. HSI highlighted that business email compromise scams have resulted in over $26 billion in losses globally in recent years, emphasizing the need for caution against various types of scams, including investment, romance, recruitment, and tech support fraud.
