CHICAGO (WLS) -- Ahead of the official start to winter, the Better Business Bureau is warning consumers about fraudsters.
The agency said scammers will swoop in and try to rip off consumers with a variety of winter scams.
"Just in time to ruin the holidays, clever con artists will attempt to steal your money, identity and personal possessions," said Steve J. Bernas, BBB president and CEO. "Their schemes could even damage your home."
