BBB Tip: Save Money And Avoid Scammers This Back-To-School Season
Another summer season is winding down to a close as children and parents across the nation prepare themselves for another school year following the summer break. This year, families are expected to spend $38.8 billion on back-to-school shopping and supplies. More than half (57%) of consumers plan to do most of their shopping online, providing an opportunity for scammers and fraudulent businesses to reach a broad audience. As the beginning of the school year approaches, Better Business Bureau (BBB) reminds consumers to be wary of online scams while crossing off items on their back-to-school shopping list.
