BBB ADVISES: Don't Ignore Bogus Billing During Holiday Rush
[Arlington, VA., November 24, 2004] The Better Business Bureau system today issued a national alert today advising consumers and businesses not to let the holiday rush prevent them from scrutinizing their billing statements and invoices.
"Unscrupulous merchants may take advantage of this hectic time to attempt to cram bogus charges onto your telephone bills or credit card statements," warned Ken Hunter, president and CEO of the Council of Better Business Bureaus. "We are advising consumers and businesses alike to routinely check all invoices and statements for unauthorized charges, now and at any other time of the year." For several weeks now, the Better Business Bureau at Fort Worth, Texas has been fielding inquiries about a local firm that appears to be engaged in bogus billing practices. (more)
