On this episode of the Gap, Tammy and Althea start by talking about Spotify Wrapped, which dropped this week. Turns out, we have really cool and interesting and smart and good taste in music. Who knew!

Then, we get into scams around the holiday season. While we may be more savvy to certain kinds of scams, they are ever evolving. We hear from listeners about their experiences with scams and near-scams, and we get their opinions on things to avoid. 

A word to the wise: getting scammed is not something to be ashamed of! When we share vital information with each other we can all be safer together. It doesn't make you dumb or stupid either, scammers cast a wide net in order to scoop up a few unsuspecting people.
