they can use use that to do, you know, any types of scams against you. >> your company has also listed a number of examples of sites selling merchandise and even liquor. one of them, hard daddy is unaccredited with the better business bureau and currently has an f rating. what do you know about this site? >> yeah, this is what most consumers are going to have to deal with. stephanie hard daddy is one that looks very real in the pictures that they pose. are actual pictures from other sites that are selling the actual product. and so when you pick a pick a product, you go through the same all the same processes. you go through the checkout, they try to take all of your information. they'll ask for your name, phone number, address, credit card information , and then they just scam you. sometimes you might get a product that's a knockoff of what you thought you were buying, or could they just don't even ship anything or they ship something that's not even related to what you bought. and if you try to contact them, there's nowhere to get any

information about how to contact them. so it's really a big scam site. and this is the type of sites we see all over the web now. yeah so frustrating. >> and it can certainly be hard to tell. and it's not just those merchandise sites, but with travel tuesday coming up, consumers often rely on companies like booking.com or airbnb to schedule travel and hotel accommodations. what advice do you have for those who are planning ahead? >> yeah, i think first and foremost, go to those sites directly. don't use click a link on an email or a or a text message that you receive. in many cases, these these text messages or emails are going to take you to a fraudulent site that looks exactly like airbnb or booking.com. and again, what they're trying to do is take take information from you. have you enter information. sometimes it's to get if you have an account with those companies, they want to get your account so that they can take over your account and do things with that as well. >> we understand your company's data shows california gets the most icloud phishing scams. what

are some examples of that and why do you think that is? >> and the scammers want that data. they want to steal that data. so what they end up doing is, again, they they they will send you a text message that says, hey, your icloud is full to add more, you know, click here. and again, it takes you to a login page. so it's trying to get your login credentials for your icloud account and then they can use that or they can get into it and steal a lot of the data that you've been putting into those icloud accounts. >> that was abc7, stephanie sierra reporting. now another tip is you can bookmark all of the sites you tend to shop and then go to those websites directly. still ahead tonight, some artists who are proving they know how to adapt the talent behind some very special christmas cards and what makes their work more impressive than just their art skills. and once again, taking a live look outside, this is the bay bridge, which definitely does have some traffic on it tonight. more chilly overnight temperatures to

it's getting a bit chilly out there. and that friendly high pressure system you see there on the satellite radar image, which has brought us some pretty calm weather the last few days, is weakening now, giving way to an advance of, let's say, unsettled weather that probably will produce some rainfall here during the week. right now, though, we have calm wind at the surface and with clear skies. that combination means temperatures will be dropping rapidly during the evening hours. here's the view from sutro tower looking out over san francisco, 58 degrees here in the city right now. mid to upper 50s. also at oakland, mountain view, san jose, half moon bay, palo alto down to 48. and the view from the mt. tam camera is a clear one because the skies are mainly clear at the moment, although we'll probably see some high clouds overnight. it's 52 right now at santa rosa and napa. we have upper 40s at novato, concord, livermore, fairfield down to 42. and one more live view from our rooftop camera looking across the embarcadero here are the forecast headlines. frost and freezing will develop inland again overnight. mostly sunny tomorrow and seasonably cool i

might add with chances of rain developing late tuesday and those chances continue through most of the week. now frost advisory is in effect until 9 a.m. tomorrow for the north bay valleys. in those areas, we may see temperatures as low as 33 degrees. and over in the fairfield-suisun area, it's a freeze warning. so the lows there may drop below 30 degrees overnight for us. look for lows overnight of 31 at santa rosa, 39 at richmond, 33. vallejo the inland east bay will have lows in the mid to upper 30s down in the south bay low 40s and right around the bay shoreline. low 40s except fremont, which will drop down to 39 degrees and we have a coastal flood advisory that will be in effect from 8 a.m. tomorrow to 1 p.m. tomorrow for the bay shoreline and for the north bay shoreline. as high tides develop tomorrow, there could be some localized flooding, especially in low lying areas near the bay shoreline. high temperatures tomorrow will be mainly in the mid 60s on the coast and right around the bay shoreline. inland areas will have highs generally in certainly in the inland east bay, low 60s, but much milder in

the south bay where we'll see 70 degrees at san jose, 69 at morgan hill. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so after a dry day tomorrow, chance of some rain late tuesday night. then on wednesday on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale, we expect a level one storm bringing rainy and cool weather, maybe some lingering showers on thursday. friday unsettled fillled, partly cloudy and perhaps another wave of rain coming in next saturday. >> now abc seven sports with chris alvarez. >> the last time we saw draymond green on the basketball court this happened right behind me. now the warriors forward got mixed up in an altercation with center rudy gobert, the chokehold got him an automatic ejection in that game and a five game suspension, which he's now served. and he's going to be back in the lineup tuesday night in the ncaa tournament game in sacramento. now, the warriors went two and three without draymond during that span, steve kerr told reporters today green will not have a minutes restriction since he's not coming off an injury. we'll wait and see how much he actually ends up playing or if he starts

speaking for the first time since the suspension, green says he's always going to come and have his teammates back. >> anytime there's a situation in two and a teammate needs you to come to their defense, i'm going to come to their defense, you know, and that's just that, especially with someone that i've been playing with for 12 years, that's more than a teammate, that's a brother. i have to be on the court for my teammates. our chances of winning drops dramatically if i'm not out there. so i have to be better as one of the leaders of this group, you just got to find different ways and i think for me, that's the biggest lesson in all of it, is just like, yeah, you got to be there for your teammate, but you have to do it differently. >> all right. women's hoops today, stanford head coach tara vanderveer played her freshman year at albany. the number four cardinal facing that school for the first time ever this afternoon. cameron brink, a double double by halftime, 15 points and ten rebounds in just the half. cardinal hoops, sharp shooter that is hannah jump hitter 300 career three pointer finished the game with four triples and 16 total points third quarter in transition one

field goal so the eagles had a chance to respond and jalen hurts a walk off winner touchdown ball game. eagles win 3734 they're ten and one they host the niners next sunday in philly at six wins in the round one two, three, four five stars. i just love that you can hear it. the san jose state spartans won their sixth straight game to end the season, finishing in a three way tie for the regular season mountain west title, which required much tiebreakers and eventually a computer decided the spartans will be left out of the conference title game. so it's going to be unlv and boise state for the crown. very confusing and frustrating situation for the spartans. they're clearly the hottest team in the mountain west and we'll show it to you one more time. play of the day comes from halftime in denver. kids riding sheep. and what's better than that? the sheep cam, of course. that's up close and personal. now, the winner. watch this. he gets off the sheep. and then what's his prize? how about a trophy? taller than you? that's
