Participating in a “Secret Santa” within your office or with friends and family can be enjoyable, but engaging in a gift exchange with online acquaintances you haven’t met carries more significant consequences. Despite their appearance of harmless fun, these gift exchanges are, in fact, pyramid schemes and are against the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several years ago, the “Secret Sister” gift exchange gained popularity through Facebook posts, enticing participants with the promise of receiving up to 36 gifts by sending just one. Unfortunately, this scheme resurfaces each holiday season<\/a>, and new versions have emerged, such as exchanging bottles of wine or suggesting the purchase of $10 gifts online. Phrases like “happy mail” or the notion of participating “for the good of the sisterhood” may be associated with these exchanges. As we approach the 2023 holiday season<\/a>, it’s crucial to remain vigilant for variations of this theme that may appear on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
