Every year during holiday shopping, thousands of shoppers think they've found the perfect deal, only to find out that deal is too good to be true.
The Better Business Bureau says online shopping has an increased risk for shoppers, especially when it comes to identity theft.
Before making a purchase on line, officials with the BBB say it's important to check the company's rating through the Better Business Bureau.
And when it comes to Craigslist and other bulletin websites, never give any financial information away online.
The BBB recommends shopping locally and with business owners you trust.
