BBB Launches Scam Source

Scam Source

Your BBB has launched a new feature on our website called Scam Source.  Here you will find Scam, Con and Rip-off Resources from your BBB. The "Don't Get Hooked by a Scam" feature provides consumers a list of scams from across North America. While the "Scam Aggregator" is a source for scams from the World Wide Web. Consumers may also report a scam to the BBB with the "Spot a Scam?" feature and can subscribe to receive your BBB's new "Scam Alerts".
