Black Friday 2010
Black Friday is the Friday immediately following Thanksgiving. This shopping event marks the start of the Christmas shopping season. Many retailers offer special hours and promotions to entice shoppers to visit their stores. Because of the number of people that will be shopping this day, it has also become a time of year when identity theft cases rise. Black Friday shoppers are urged to take precautions to protect their personal information while making purchases.
