Acadiana BBB Marks Consumer Protection Week
Chris Babin, the interim President/CEO of the Acadiana Better Business Bureau, says we are ALL vulnerable to fraud. This week has been set aside to inform the public about all the ways you can be scammed. It's a whole new world and most of us put ourselves at risk in our day-to-day lives.
In 2019, more than 37,000 scam reports were published on BBB Scam Tracker. Your Better Business Bureau will give you insights on understanding which scam types pose the highest risk, how these scams rank in the risk index factors of exposure, susceptibility, and monetary loss and the biggest takeaway from analyzing the 2019 data. BBB will also cover on how scams work and how to prevent becoming a victim.
BBB is holding a FREE presentation for the public:
March 5, 2020
West Regional Library in Scott, LA
From 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
