Illinois scams

These text scams are happening in Illinois and all over the country. They work very well for scammers, but it's bad news for you if you fall for one.

There are small scams happening every day around the country that most of us just accept because what choice do we really have?

For those who've been told that the reason their package(s) has been delayed because of "tariff issues," or "tariff delays," you should feel reasonably certain that you're being scammed or being set up to be scammed. Here's what the Better Business Bureau says you should be doing.

Scams are happening all over the country at all times, but it sure seems as though Illinois residents have been getting hit extra hard over the last few months. Everyone, regardless of age, has a target on them, but attempted scams on seniors are skyrocketing.

As the temperatures in Illinois begin to rise, so do the amount of scams that target people who are looking to make a little extra money with some spring/summer work. The Rockford Regional Office of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) warns that fraudulent offers to turn your vehicle into a rolling advertisement are just that...fraudulent.

Spring is an opportunity for scammers to capitalize on all the home improvement projects you've been neglecting.
