Dear BBB Accredited Business,                           

 

Spring is almost here, and at this time of year many different things are going through the minds of consumers. Taxes, paying off debt and the list goes on. The BBB is here to make sure, that no matter what  your new goals are for Spring and the rest of the year, you don't get scammed when pursuing them.  

 

March Madness is in the air with NCAA basketball and even though local teams are out of the running for the championship, consumers across southeast Louisiana may be looking for tickets or championship merchandise. We bring you one article to help you make the right choice when purchasing such items.  

 

We have recently learned of a scam that has been claiming to be Microsoft so they can gain access to your computer and the information in it. Read the article below to know who you are really dealing with when someone calls your home.  

 

Tax Time brings about all kinds of scams. Watch our newest video regarding tax tips and how to stay safe when filing your taxes.  

 

WWL-TV is launching its Co-Op Ad Campaign. Read the Letter below from WWLTV to find out how you can participate.
