(Undated) — Before you donate to help those affected by the recent floods in Texas, the BBB says it’s important to take the time to see if the plea for help is legitimate. Better Business Bureau Investigator, Don O’Brien, says crowdfunding is a popular method of raising money, but it can be risky for those moved to donate.
O’Brien reminds the public that social media has made it easier for scammers. There are many hazards online, but you can find guidance through the Better Business Bureau at bbb.org.
