15 Life-Changing Books Recommended by Bryan JohnsonPep Guardiola has stressed Manchester City’s current malaise is not down to one player as he again defended Erling Haaland. City’s 2-1 loss at Aston Villa on Saturday, the Premier League champions’ ninth defeat in 12 matches in all competitions, saw Haaland fail to score for the fifth time in six outings. After the game the Norway striker told TNT Sports: “First I’m looking at myself. I haven’t been scoring my chances. I have to do better, I haven’t been good enough.” City boss Guardiola subsequently stuck up for Haaland, who has netted 108 times for the club since joining in 2022, saying that “without him we will be even worse” and that “he needs to be delivered the right balls in the right spots”. And speaking on Christmas Eve at his press conference ahead of the Boxing Day home clash with Everton, Guardiola said: “It’s about us, not just one player. “When in the past we score goals and Erling was so prolific, helping us, it was because of the team. “And when you have problems at the back, in the middle, it is for everyone, it is a team, it is not about one player. It would be easy, if it was just one player, the reason why. It’s not about that. PEP 💬 It is about us, not just one player... when you have problems at the back and middle, it is all about the team, not just one player... Erling [Haaland] is so important for us, will be important for us and has been and we need to use him better. pic.twitter.com/VBgJywyCT2 — Manchester City (@ManCity) December 24, 2024 “Erling is so important for us, will be so important for us, has been. (We have to) try to do things better, to use him better.” He added: “In this situation, this tendency for all of us (is to say) ‘the reason why is this one, and this one and this one’. It’s about us, about everyone. “The guys are running, making effort more than ever. All the tendency ‘it’s because we don’t run, because we don’t fight, the reason why is this situation or this player or this manager’... It’s not about that. “It’s many little details or big details that make all together not as good as we were. But we have another opportunity on Boxing Day.” City have a sidelined list that includes key midfielder Rodri, recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered in September, and Ruben Dias, who was ruled out for up to four weeks after sustaining a muscular problem in the 2-1 loss to Manchester United on December 15. Fellow defender John Stones made his return to action in the Villa game after a foot issue, only to be substituted at half-time. City have been assessing him, along with goalkeeper Ederson and midfielder Matheus Nunes, both of whom were absent on Saturday. What is an unprecedented slump in results in Guardiola’s managerial career has featured six losses in eight in the league. And City, who had gone into the season targeting a fifth successive title under the 53-year-old, head into Christmas lying seventh in the table, 12 points adrift of leaders Liverpool having played a game more. Their next five league fixtures are all against sides currently in the bottom half, with Everton sat 15th. Guardiola emphasised the Toffees should not be regarded as the “perfect opponent”, and added: “It’s about us, to come back at our best. We will take time because we don’t have players, but we have to get results as quick as possible.” Ahead of the 12.30pm kick-off, City’s players are set to train on Christmas Day before staying at the training ground that night, and Guardiola said: “Today they will be at home with the families, tomorrow (they will be) in the morning and in the night they will be here – hopefully they want to be here, because it’s our job and our duty.”OSUN State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, on Sunday presented a Staff of Office and Instrument of Appointment to the new Owa Obokun Adimula of Ijesaland, Oba Clement Adesuyi Haastrup, with a charge to him to rally all citizens of Ijesaland for the development of the area and the state at large. Speaking at the event held at the Obokungbusi Town-hall in Ilesa, the governor congratulated all distinguished sons and daughters of Ijesaland, both at home and abroad, who are witnessing this historic moment. According to him, “Such an event took place over forty years ago when our revered departed father, Oba Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran, was presented with his instrument of appointment and staff of office. His reign was long, eventful, peaceful, and full of massive developments in Ijesaland.” “I pray the same for our new Owa, Ade a pe lori, Bata a pe lese. E o pe lori ite awon baba yin. Kabiyesi, now that the time of competition is over and you have become the father of all, I urge you to rally all citizens of Ijesaland for the development of the area and the state at large.” “I urge you to deploy your wealth of experience garnered over the years and your contacts within and outside the country for the development of Ijesaland. There is much work to be done, and the government alone cannot be saddled with the responsibility. It calls for the concerted efforts of all.” “I want to seize this opportunity to call on all Ijesa sons and daughters to continue the development of the fatherland. Our administration is intensifying developmental efforts across the state, including Ijesaland. We need your continued cooperation and collaboration to further speed up the growth process.” “In the last two years of my administration, we have made tremendous impact on the massive infrastructural development of the state, including Ijesaland. For the first time in the history of Ilesa, my administration is constructing a dual carriageway in the ancient town. This is in addition to several other infrastructural developments in Ilesa and Ijesaland in general.” “I, therefore, urge all and sundry to continue to support this administration as we take developments to every corner of the state. I promise not to relent on our efforts to transform our dear state. We have been doing this, and we will continue to do more in the new year.” “I congratulate all members of the State Council of Obas who are here in Ilesa to felicitate with the new Deputy Chairman I of the Council. I urge the Council to continue to advise, support, and cooperate with the government in its task of transforming the lives of the citizens of this great state.” In his remarks at the well-attended event, the new Owa Obokun Adimula, Oba Haastrup, thanked the entire Ijesa people, the governor, members of the state cabinet, state and federal elected and appointed political office holders, other traditional rulers, eminent indigenes of Ijesaland from within Nigeria and the diaspora, members of the royal families, and well-wishers, for their support and encouragement before, during the selection process, and after his appointment had been ratified by the state government. “Let me also use this opportunity to salute the patience, resilience, and resourcefulness of our youths and reassure them that a new dawn has come. Modalities shall be put in place for the productive engagement of our teeming youths in Ijesaland.” “I shall, as a policy direction, promote the economic growth of Ijesaland through agriculture and agriculture-allied industries, as well as supporting creative and strategic development ventures in Ijesaland.” “There shall be zero tolerance for land grabbing in my name and in the name of others, no matter how highly placed. Efforts shall be made toward the establishment of an Ijesa Technical Institute, placing serious attention on the production of artisans, as it is done in China, Ghana, and other places.” He prayed that peace, unity, and harmony would continue to reign in Ijesaland, Osun, and Nigeria as a whole. “My most sincere appreciation to my fellow brothers from the Bilaro family and all my brother princes who contested the throne with me. You are all eminently qualified for the stool.” “But, as in all contests, there will always be one winner. The time for the contest is now over. Let us come together and unite to build a stronger and more prosperous future for all the people of Ijesaland. For me, there is ‘No Victor, No Vanquished!’” “My dear people of Ijesaland, let us move forward together, united in our pursuit of a brighter future. May our land continue to flourish, and may we always remain a beacon of hope and freedom.” “My immediate priority shall be to consolidate on the unity and progress ravaging the whole of Ijesaland. Fortunately, my task has been made easier by the energy, resourcefulness, cooperation, and enthusiasm of our people, as shown by the various unification efforts across Ijesaland over the past few years. Our elders and eminent stakeholders have shown uncommon dedication and loyalty to our land.” ALSO READ: Benin group backs new UNIBEN VC on work agenda “Thank you for your belief, steadfastness, and deployment of your personal resources for the happiness of our people. Please be assured that our projects’ conceptualization and implementation shall continue to be driven by the pan-Ijesa team spirit to promote harmony, trust, and communality. I am eager and willing to do a lot more. With your support and encouragement, I can only build on our legacies and selfless sacrifices.” “Let me also use this opportunity to salute the patience, resilience, and resourcefulness of our youths and reassure them that a new dawn has come. Modalities shall be put in place for the productive engagement of our teeming youths in Ijesaland.” Meanwhile, while the official selection process, which began on Friday, December 27th, has now been completed with the presentation of the Staff of Office, Oba Haastrup will immediately proceed to seclusion, where other traditional rites will be observed. Before he ends his seclusion, a date for the elaborate coronation party, befitting of this first-class king who has previously served as Deputy Governor of the state, will be announced.( MENAFN - AFP) Dominant in the electric car sector, Chinese companies have been quietly consolidating their position in the lesser-watched trucking scene -- but foreign tariffs and a perceived quality gap could signal roadblocks ahead, experts warn. The domestic supply chain and low-price strategy that helped make China's EV car industry world-leading are being leveraged by established automakers and start-ups alike, aiming to similarly transform trucking. Electric trucks currently represent less than one percent of truck sales worldwide, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) -- with China making up 70 percent of those sales in 2023. But the agency said it was "optimistic" policy and technology developments would see more widespread adoption in the next 10 years. "This industry, I believe, is ripe for disruption," Han Wen, the founder of start-up Windrose, told AFP on a factory floor as the company's first vehicles for delivery were assembled behind him. Fleets of electric heavy goods vehicles from China have been growing internationally, even as Western countries target the country's EV cars with heavy sanctions. Chinese companies like BYD and Beiqi Foton have shipped trucks to countries including Italy, Poland, Spain and Mexico, and have opened assembly plants around the world. "China's trucks are generally cost-competitive in emerging markets," Stephen Dyer, from consulting firm AlixPartners, told AFP. "For mature markets, performance and durability do not yet meet the needs of most customers, but that is changing." When it comes to emissions, "heavy-duty trucks are considered one of the more difficult to abate transport segments (after aviation and shipping)", IEA analyst Elizabeth Connelly told AFP. - Battery issues - A major challenge is the trade-off between battery size and range. "The larger the battery, the longer the range. But the larger the battery, the heavier the truck... and the worse the fuel economy," Connelly said. Chinese manufacturers have been seen as producing lower quality products than foreign counterparts. "Historically, Chinese trucks tended to have a shorter useful lifecycle than European or Japanese trucks," AlixPartners' Dyer told AFP. While that perception is changing, China's flagship companies still lag rivals on factors like range and battery capacity. According to the Zero-Emission Technology Inventory, the median Chinese heavy duty truck range is 250 kilometres (155 miles), compared with 322 km in the United States. BYD -- which in October beat Tesla in quarterly revenue for the first time -- says its 8TT model's range is 200 kilometres, compared with the 800 kilometres promised by Tesla's Semi truck. But Chinese manufacturers could close the gap quickly. Han's Windrose says its semi-trucks can go up to 670 kilometres on a single charge. Meanwhile, battery giant CATL has rolled out truck battery-swapping facilities -- where drained units can be immediately replaced, eliminating charging time altogether. China's existing EV ecosystem is a massive advantage. "We're very lucky to have the Chinese supply chain (for EVs)," said Han, noting Windrose was using an electric bus company's factory to build its trucks. "There's no doubt that China also will have an edge on the electrification of heavy-duty trucks." - 'Not normal times' - More unpredictable are the testy geopolitical waters the sector risks stalling in. This year has seen important trading partners including the European Union and the United States impose hefty tariffs on Chinese EV cars, saying Beijing's state aid to automakers undercut their own firms. China refutes this, but as its EV truck footprint grows globally, so could the risk of similar action being taken. "Governments in potential export markets want to protect their local industries," Sam Fiorani, at AutoForecast Solutions, told AFP. US President-elect Donald Trump has promised huge tariff hikes on Chinese imports once he takes office. "Since EV truck volume is smaller than passenger EVs, there is a chance that EV trucks would fall a little under the radar in normal times," AlixPartners' Dyer said. But "these are not 'normal times' anymore and anything Chinese is high profile in the US government currently", he added. Some companies have already taken steps that could mitigate this risk. BYD proudly touts its trucks as being "assembled by union workers in Lancaster, California", while it has announced plans to build a factory in Mexico, and has plants in Hungary and Romania. Windrose's Han told AFP the firm has consciously spread its operations across multiple countries, moving key headquarters to Belgium earlier this year. "We do embrace the fact that every major market would like its own domestic supply chain of EV," he told AFP. But he added: "You have to start in China. We then try to move the supply chain globally... But you have to start in China. There's no alternative."

'They're eating the dogs' Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player 0:31 'They're eating pets in Springfield' A completely unverified rumour on social media about Haitian immigrants eating dogs in Springfield, Ohio, made it all the way to Donald Trump, who shocked the world when he took a moment during his presidential debate against Kamala Harris to exclaim: "In Springfield, they're eating the dogs." He went on: "The people that came in, they're eating the cats... They're eating... they're eating the pets of the people that live there. "And this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame." Ms Harris, who could be seen laughing and saying "this is unbelievable", responded when it was her turn: "Talk about extreme." The rumours were also stoked by the incoming vice president JD Vance, who said people have "had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn't be in this country". Later, he told CNN: "If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do."

Not because of the announcement itself - but rather because the then prime minister braved the pouring rain without an umbrella. Mr Sunak's shoulders could be seen getting soggier and soggier during his eight-minute speech, leaving many wondering whether it was a tactic akin to Tony Blair showing his dedication to the country through sweaty blue shirts, or if it was simply an oversight.

(AP) — The New York Giants organization got exactly what it deserved in getting blown out by Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Giants were embarrassed in Sunday's 30-7 loss , taunted by Mayfield after a touchdown run just before halftime. And then they saw their fans walk out on them again when the Bucs extended their lead to 30-0 and sent New York (2-9) to its sixth straight loss. The losing streak is the longest for the Giants since 2019, when they dropped a franchise-record nine straight games to finish 4-12. That led to the firing of coach Pat Shurmur after two seasons. Third-year coach Brian Daboll is clearly in trouble, with the Giants guaranteed a second straight losing season. They were 6-11 in a 2023 season that featured a lot of injuries. Daboll, who denies he has lost the team, isn't the only one whose job is in jeopardy. General manager Joe Schoen is on the hot seat and so is this entire franchise, which is celebrating its 100th year. It's one thing to lose. It's quite another to give up, and that's what the organization did when it decided to bench Daniel Jones a week ago and then release him on Friday after the 27-year-old asked co-owner John Mara to let him walk away. While he wasn't playing well, Jones was the Giants' best quarterback. He gave them more a of chance to win than either Tommy DeVito or Drew Lock. Removing him from the picture was all but certain to make the Giants worse, even if it was a good business decision. If Jones was hurt and unable the pass his physical before the 2025 season, the team would have been on the hook for a $23 million cap hit. The problem is the players care about now. By getting rid of Jones and elevating DeVito to the starting role, the front office was telling the team it didn't care about winning with seven games left in the season. So the players gave a lackluster effort. Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence called the team soft. Rookie receiver Malik Nabers said he was sick of losing. Left tackle Jermaine Eluemunor said he saw a lack of effort by some players. What they all were saying was they were angry at being betrayed. Money is never more important than winning, and the Giants made that mistake. At this point in the season? Nothing. The offense once again. The Giants have scored a league-low 163 points, including only 60 in six games at MetLife Stadium, where they are winless this season. They have scored in double figures at home twice. Daboll's team has been held scoreless in the first half in three of 11 games and it has been held without a first-half touchdown seven times. Daboll said he will continue to call the offensive plays. S Tyler Nubin. The rookie has had a team-high 12 tackles in each of the last two games. His 81 tackles for the season are just two behind team leader Bobby Okereke. RB Tyrone Tracy. The rookie leads Giants running backs with 587 yards on 116 carries — a 5.1-yard average for the fifth-round pick. But holding onto the ball has been a big issue. Tracy's fumble in overtime cost New York a chance to win in Germany against Carolina. He also lost the ball in the third quarter at the Bucs 5-yard line with New York down 23-0. It earned him a seat on the bench. LT Jermaine Eluemunor (quad) and OLB Azeez Ojulari (toe) left Sunday's game in the first quarter. Chris Hubbard filled in at tackle and the Giants luckily got back DL Kayvon Thibodeaux this past week after he missed five games with a broken wrist. DeVito was banged up but Daboll expects him to start against the Cowboys. 10 — The Giants have gone 10 consecutive games without an interception, tying the NFL record held by the 1976-77 San Francisco 49ers and the 2017 Oakland — now Las Vegas — Raiders. The Giants and Raiders now share the single-season mark. A national showcase on Thanksgiving Day for the NFC-worst Giants at Dallas.

Brainiac Babies Announces Free Childcare Opportunities for Families in NeedThe coastal community of Barangay Consuelo in Macabebe, Pampanga, has historically faced isolation during typhoons. It is accessible from the mainland only by a narrow bamboo bridge or small for-hire boats. The coastal community of Barangay Consuelo in Macabebe, Pampanga, has historically faced isolation during typhoons. It is accessible from the mainland only by a narrow bamboo bridge or small for-hire boats. Home to around 1,000 Kapampangans whose livelihoods revolve around fishing and oyster gathering, the barangay has little access to medical and dental facilities. Leading fiber broadband and technology provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc. has teamed up with the Pi Sigma Delta Sorority, Paragon Supreme Council of Pampanga and the Inner Wheel Club of Taguig to conduct on Oct. 12 the Macabebe Mission, which offered free medical checkups, including diabetes screenings, as well as dental services like tooth extractions. Converge facilitated the distribution of dental kits and grocery packs while also conducting a training session on safeguarding children from online sexual abuse and exploitation, reaching 150 families. CARAVAN Volunteers distribute grocery packs after a short briefing to protect family from online sexual abuse and to promote dental care. —CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS Inner Wheel led a short lecture on proper dental care. “It’s inspiring to witness how multinational, nonprofit and school-based organizations combine forces and achieve social impact. We are glad to be part of this effort with our Days of Giving Program leading to the celebration of our 50th founding anniversary, truly embodying the twin principles of Paglingkuran ang Sambayan ng may Dangal and Paragon of Self-Development,” says Cecille Garcia, who chairs Pi Sigma Delta Sorority’s 50th anniversary steering committee. Jennifer Ambanta-Realubit, Converge manager and head of community relations, emphasizes the importance of collaboration with other organizations to tackle critical health and safety issues. “As an organization capable of reaching vulnerable communities, we see it as our duty to partner on these essential initiatives,” she states. HEALTH CHECK Residents line up for medical/dental consultation beside a pop-up free pharmacy. Jay-Anne Encarnado, vice president and head of corporate communications and public relations at Converge, shares hope that these efforts will help build resilient communities, stating, “We are committed to exploring ways to leverage our strengths to empower unserved and underserved areas.” In addition, Unilab Foundation donated over-the-counter medicines, which were distributed during the medical outreach, supported by doctors and dentists from the Inner Wheel Club and Pi Sigma Delta Sorority. The Macabebe mission also included fun activities for children, along with the distribution of slippers. —Contributed Subscribe to our daily newsletter By providing an email address.

It was an unexpectedly bold and wildly successful move for Netflix, crowning them as the surprise new champ on the block in sports partnerships and promoting them to another league beyond their usual binge-friendly on-demand offering. Netflix will show NFL matches on Christmas Day and have secured the exclusive rights for the next Fifa Women’s World Cup. Sporting events create peak engagement moments – the perfect catalyst of fandom and communal passion – allowing brands to build unique experiences with extensive reach which is why Netflix looked to sports as it searches for new territories to conquer. And conquer it did. The fight was the most-streamed sporting event ever, peaking at 65m live streams – with an estimated audience of at least 232m when catch-up was factored in – ranking No1 in 78 countries including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, South Africa, the UK and the US, and in the Top 10 in 91 countries. Brands are increasingly leveraging sports to reach diverse, highly engaged audiences in unique ways. Unexpected partnerships in sports create surprise and intrigue, driving brand impact beyond traditional sponsorships and taking centre stage in the quest to delight existing fans and to lure in new audiences. Brands playing it safe will just get ignored. For every predictable airline or bank partnership (shirt front logos, tickets for the executive box), there’s a brand daring to disrupt. Take luxury fashion house Dior. They have turned to skateboarding for an unexpected fusion of luxury fashion and urban street culture, bridging two seemingly contrasting worlds. Sk8er bois and girls are seen thundering along the Dior catwalks from Korea to Paris and scene stars Aurélien Giraud and Louise-Aïna Taboulet are official ambassadors. The partnership between Dior and skateboarding redefines traditional notions of luxury, making it more accessible and relevant to younger, street-savvy audiences while giving established fans a feeling of cool by association. Sports partnerships can be an important vehicle for highlighting your own company’s values or for helping to gain wider audiences for societal messaging. Supply chain logistics group Prologis demonstrates its commitment to sustainability and innovation in the logistics sector by working alongside Formula E. By engaging with Formula E through platforms like its thought leadership programme Groundbreakers, Prologis associates itself with the racing series’ advancements in electric vehicle technology while showcasing its own role as a champion of sustainable mobility. The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) announced a unique partnership focused on promoting climate awareness through skiing and winter sports. The FIS is concerned about the future of their sport having seen numerous races cancelled due to weather-related reasons, while the WMO gets a real-life example of the impact of climate change to spark conversation. A few cancelled ski races might not seem that important to many people, but by rooting climate change in tangible, happening now events, it makes the bigger picture more easily understandable for certain audiences. These two examples demonstrate how sports alliances can align with sustainability and purpose-driven initiatives and highlights the growing trend of using sports as a platform to drive global conversations beyond the field of play. They show that sports partnerships can transcend entertainment, becoming powerful vehicles for environmental progress and global impact. Whether it is skateboarders and luxury, skiers and climate change or boxing watched by millions globally, unexpected partnerships create buzz, spark curiosity, and deliver new value for audiences and fans. By stepping outside traditional sponsorship models, brands can capture attention and drive deeper connections to help brands achieve cultural relevance, foster innovation, and deliver business results.AP News Summary at 3:42 p.m. ESTNonePressing issues will only be resolved when Imran, Army Chief sit together: Abbasi

Black Friday and Cyber Monday hold special places of prominence on the holiday shopping calendar. According to data gathered by Capital One , consumer spending on Cyber Monday has grown from $3.1 billion in 2015 to $12.4 billion in 2023, with 2024 showing no signs slowing down. The financial institution also found that an estimated 73.1 million shopped online for Cyber Monday last year, compared to 20.9 million who went to an actual store. The internet has already become a haven for scammers -- with the Federal Trade Commission estimating that over $300 million has already been lost to online shopping fraud this year -- but things go to an entirely different level during the holiday season, when folks are a lot more inclined to part with their money, especially online and for deals that might seem too good to be true. Don't let your festive spirit turn sour this year and read on for CNET's tips for avoiding Black Friday and Cyber Monday scams. For more on holiday shopping, check out CNET's best streaming deals and the best TV's on the market for 2024. Be wary of who you're dealing with to avoid phishing scams Phishing scams -- ones that involve attempts to get you to willingly give over a piece of important information -- are the bread-and-butter of modern online scammers, and you can bet these schemes are out in force for the holiday shopping season. Speaking with a local news station, Melissa Ames, president of an Ohio-based branch of the Better Business Bureau, warned shoppers to be cautious about emails and text messages claiming that a package they ordered is stalled in transit. These sorts of messages are commonly used by scammers to make you click through a link and give them personal information. While keeping track of holiday packages, it's best to disregard any messages like this and rely exclusively on the website of whichever shipping company you are using. NerdWallet has also warned shoppers to be on alert for phishing schemes using QR codes, a rising trend known as "quishing." These codes, when scanned, direct you to fraudulent websites or in some cases directly install malware on your device. To avoid this fate, it's best to avoid scanning any QR codes you received unexpectedly, such as from strange emails, and to be extra vigilant about the authenticity of codes you come across in public. Be careful where you use your credit card Credit cards are a necessity while shopping online for deals, but they can also potentially land you in trouble. Expert sources, like the North Carolina Department of Justice , urge shoppers to do their shopping with cards and to always keep receipts, to make your purchases easier to track and to ensure you can get a refund if you were misled about a certain product. On the flip side, you also must be careful about how and where you use your credit card. When making a purchase online, make sure you stick to your own private home Wi-Fi network. Making purchases over public Wi-Fi networks greatly increases the risk of your personal information being exposed to hackers. Here's more on what to watch for with credit card scams . Your credit card company might also provide various services to help you deal with possible fraud with your card. If you suspect this holiday season that your card has been commandeered for illicit purposes, definitely give your company's customer service line a call to see what your options are. Be certain about that charity asking for a donation Charities are a common fixture of the holiday season, with organizations hoping to tap into the spirit of giving to help their causes. Unfortunately, this has prompted bad actors to use the facade of charity to try to trick generous people into giving them money for a fake cause. To avoid this , it's best to make sure you're donating only to charities you know about already or you can find official information about somewhere. This is especially true for charities that might try and reach you via emails or online ads. Before you make a donation, check out the organization or charity. You can use a charity-evaluation service such as Charity Navigator , which evaluates charities based on their financial health, accountability and transparency. Charity Navigator assigns a "Give With Confidence" designation to the organizations it deems safe to donate to. Be careful which websites you visit Experts strongly recommend that you be careful about the websites you visit and do business through during the holiday shopping season, as scammers are known to create fake store websites or review sites to dupe customers. Speaking with Staten Island Live , Miguel Fornés, a cybersecurity expert for SurfShark, called this tactic the most common one used by scammers and warned of the methods that allow them to create convincing fakes. "Scammers simply create fake websites or mobile apps that look like legitimate retailers," he explained. "Logos, fonts and website design might look very similar to well-known brands. Fraudsters might also use social media or other channels to advertise such fake stores to lure victims." In order to help avoid these fake sites, customers are advised to try and do business only on websites that they are familiar with already and trust during the holiday season. If you are not sure about a website you find, you can also check trusted outlets like TrustPilot and BazaarVoice to try to determine if they are legitimate. Also be wary of deals on products that seem too good to be true, as this can often be a hook to try to get you to shop at a fake website. What to do if you find a scam? If you believe that you have stumbled upon a scam this holiday season, it's important that you do your part to bring attention to it. This can involve sharing the details of the potential scam with friends and family, but also sharing what you know with the Better Business Bureau's Scam Tracker website.
