BBB Tips: Don’t Be Tricked by Halloween Scammers

Halloween is just around the corner, and with so many costumes and decoration ideas, it’s hard to choose what to buy, and where to buy it from. When it comes to purchasing costumes and other Halloween supplies, 42 percent of shoppers will visit discount stores, 36 percent will visit a Halloween store, and 25 percent will shop online. The Better Business Bureau is advising shoppers to be careful when looking for costumes, and if possible either make one at home or rent one to avoid being scammed. If you do purchase a costume and intend to return it, be sure to ask about the store’s return policy.
