As people do their last-minute holiday shopping, the San Francisco FBI office is urging people who shop online to do so with caution.
"We put this as one of our top priorities because there is a significant amount of loss," said Agustin Lopez, the Assistant Special Agent in Charge for FBI Criminal Branch I at the San Francisco Field Division.
Across the region, there was more than $7,000,000 in losses from January through October of this year, according to FBI data. That's more money than in the entirety of 2020. However, fewer people are falling victim to the crimes, said Lopez. Don't click suspicious links or attachments in emails, websites, or social media. Especially those asking for a password or financial data. This also may result in unknowingly downloading malware to your device.
