94.3 THE WOLF Country That'll Make You Howl!
Bourbon consumers should be advised of ongoing scam attempts targeting the area.
The Better Business Bureau serving Greater Kentucky and South Central Indiana says local consumers have reported websites that appear to be legitimate and claim to offer high-end beverages such as bourbon and wine at low prices, but the deal turns out to be too good to be true.
Consumers have reported after making a purchase products were not received, consumers were sent fake tracking numbers, or the consumer isn’t given contact information to report a problem or request a refund. Scammers have also been targeting bourbon-related Facebook groups offering to sell hard-to-find bottles.
The BBB recommends consumers protect themselves from scams by taking precautions such as purchasing with a credit card rather than a debit card, making sure you are shopping on a legitimate seller’s website and checking the website’s security settings, and protecting your private information.
Anybody who finds a scam can report it using the BBB’s scam tracker available at www.bbb.org.
