Top 5 ways to avoid delivery scams ahead of the holidays

When it comes to holiday shopping logistics, consumers have it pretty easy these days. People can order practically anything they want online and have it shipped to their door. But, as you await all of those packages, watch out for scammers, especially when it comes to deliveries. "People that have seen people taking packages from other people’s porches, unfortunately," Kim Harper of Southfield said. Harper also said she's concerned about texts with delivery scams. "A lot of times you’ll get texts that say, ‘Your order has been delayed or whatever. Click here to check on it.’ I never click on those. I go directly to the site I ordered from," she said.
