Lisa,

This is the time of year to be weary of websites you don't know about. Since the boom of e-commerce began, an unfortunate trend that has developed is that a lot of sites pop-up around the holidays offering unbeatable deals. The problem is, many are fakes that are out to steal money and credit card info.

For this reason, make sure you check out ANY website whose reliability you are unsure of.
