(WBBM NEWSRADIO) - If you’re looking for a sure bet – there are scammers in the online sports betting.
Online sports betting has never been hotter. With football in full swing and the hockey and basketball seasons starting soon, the BBB advises consumers to be vigilant to fake emails, texts, and social media offers that could lure you directly into a scam.
You may receive enticing offers or guarantees of winning, where everything seems okay until it’s time to collect.
Scammers may claim there are technical problems and ask you for further personal information.
BBB advises you to always review business profiles and reviews and closely inspect website URL’s and email addresses to help spot fakes.
