<blockquote>"The festive season may be imminent, but it’s a Facebook Secret Sister (not Santa) you have to steer clear of. Secret Sister has been a mainstay of Yuletide scams <a href="https://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/article/2015/11/3/facebook-secret-sister-gift-exchange-chain-letter-scam/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">since at least 2015</a>, and has <a href="https://www.abc15.com/lifestyle/holiday/police-remind-facebook-users-secret-sister-gift-exchange-is-an-illegal-scam" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">come back around once more</a>. But what is it?

Your office probably has a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Santa" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Secret Santa</a> scheme in place. You draw names from a hat, and you secretly buy the named person a gift. It’s all pretty straightforward, and a great source of unwanted deodorants and novelty kitchenware. Secret Sister isn’t quite as nice, and could drop you in a great deal of trouble. You probably won’t even get your hands on the deodorant." <a href="https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2018/11/secret-sister-scam-returns-time-christmas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Read more...</span></a></blockquote>
