Quick Tip: Cyber Monday Scams

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Here's a quick tip on Cyber Monday shopping scams.

Security experts at McAfee say bad actors are using artificial intelligence to create fake deals and ads that look legitimate to deceive shoppers.

Scammers may impersonate well-known brands to advertise "exclusive" promotions or fake giveaways.

Always check the full web address and avoid clicking links from ads or social media posts without researching.

You should type the address name directly into your browser to reach the official site.

Also watch out for fake delivery text scams saying a package can't be delivered, or that a "small fee" is needed to confirm your address.

Visit the vendor or carrier's official website or app to verify any delivery problems.
