Hello friends...

Its a common thing that we search for gifts and cards online for our friends and loved ones to give but this time just think before you are going to click on any such links which gonna ask you any kind of personal detail (example: phone no, account no..etc) which is not required. Also be careful while opening e-Cards that may contain spyware or viruses that download onto the your computer once you click on the link to view the greeting.
Be careful when clicking or liking posts, while taking advantage of contests, ads and special deals that one gets from "friends" that advertise the hottest Holiday gifts (such as the new iPad Mini), exclusive discounts at local stores and holiday-related jobs postings. The most common ways of attack by scammers is through social networks, malicious mobile apps, gift scams, bogus gift cards and Spam mails offering cheap Rolex watches, the latest iPad Mini or pharmaceuticals, advertised as the "perfect gift" for that special someone, are also used to lure people to click on malicious links.
