Search Better Business Bureau Scam Tracker reports

Searches bbb.org Scam Tracker's consumer-reported-scam database by free-text query, scam category, targeted-victim state/province, reported-scammer state/province, report-date range, and/or dollar-loss range, paginated 10 results/page. Omit every filter to browse the most-recent-first feed. Credential-free public Better Business Bureau data. This is a separate BBB dataset from the bbb-search/bbb-business/bbb-business-complaints business-rating family -- consumer-reported scam incidents, not business ratings.
