GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Federal and state officials are using what they uncovered about costly scams to alert West Michigan businesses about the way crooks could target their livelihood.
On Tuesday, the Better Business Bureau, Federal Trade Commission and a West Michigan attorney got together to talk about the findings from a national project to help businesses combat the mounting number of scams.
The project dubbed Operation Main Street included the filing of 24 civil and criminal actions nationwide against scammers who bilked more than $290 million from businesses.
