SCAMS As the holidays approach, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services reminds you to be aware of scams and fraud. Watch out for fake retail websites, gift exchange scams and seasonal fake charities looking for donations. Also be on the lookout for fraudulent emails that might sign you up for TSA precheck at airports, just in time for holiday travel. Don’t be fooled!
