On Monday's show we were joined by the Better Business Bureau, to discuss what you should do if you think you've been scammed.
Tom Bartholomy walked us through the difference between a scam and a complaint. Bartholomy says for it to be a scam something illegal has to have taken place.
That's why any and every complaint reported to the BBB Scam Tracker is investigated.
People reach out to the BBB for a variety of reasons: they could be business concerns/scams, animal purchasing/adoption concerns/scams...and the BBB takes every report seriously.
We're told the BBB investigates the concern and also works to educate the public, so they are more knowledgeable when it comes to what to look out for.
