Cyber Monday Shopping

This is Cyber Monday, which sometimes turns out to be the busiest online shopping day of the year. CBS News and CNET technology analyst Larry Magid says that it is going to be tough to top last year’s cyber-sales figures.  “For the last several years, Cyber Monday has been the biggest online shopping day of the year.  Last year saw a record with $1.46 billion worth of sales that day, according to ComScore.” Because many retailers have been offering special deals well before today it’s possible it won’t be this time. Magid says, you never know though.  “Even though a lot of online retailers have been having sales for the past several days, many of them are holding some of their deals back for Cyber Monday, so we should see some bargains that weren’t available on previous days.” Online shoppers are encouraged to be vigilant against thieves, never give out credit card or other personal information unless you are sure the retailer is legitimate.
