AG Jack Conway warns against Cyber Monday scams AG Conway Encourages Consumers to be Vigilant of Online Scams on Cyber Monday, 1 Dec 2014 Daniel Kemp, Deputy Communications Director News from the KY Attorney General Jack Conway's office FRANKFORT, KY - With the holiday shopping season underway, Attorney General Jack Conway is urging Kentucky consumers to be vigilant of seasonal scams and identity theft. Millions of consumers turn to their smart phones, tablets and computers for their holiday shopping needs, which has cybercriminals and hackers working overtime to exploit unsuspecting shoppers for their credit card and financial information. "Keeping consumers safe from scams and unscrupulous business practices is one of my top priorities as your Attorney General," Attorney General Conway said.

Shoppers should be leery of pop-up ads or text messages offering products such as iPads or gift cards for free or at heavily discounted rates.

Taking a few proactive steps can help keep you safe when shopping online this holiday season:
