We are aware of an Elf on the Shelf scam taking place through Facebook Groups across the Houston Area. The scam consists of buyers purchasing the Elf on the Shelf product and the seller failing to deliver the product.

@Txtoast : Thanks for the heads up. We try to be aware of potential scams, but it takes people sharing information.

Man, that is despicable. I've bought several things, and was only burned the last time, by ads on FB. Now I read all the comments and do a bit of research, if they don't check out I don't buy.

Some will do all kinds of scams so they don't have to go out and get a job. They would rather get it from people that may have a hard time working , so their children have food on the table to eat. Then it is all taken away. So sad

@Txtoast : my daughter actually fell for one a couple years ago where they wanted gift cards and you send them the number and then nothing. It was $2000 for a car. You can go straight to one right now. comment on it and they will say it belongs to there sister or brother. This one bout the elf, I saw on the news yesterday
