Virginia Business Lawyers
Local officials are warning central Virginia residents about notifications from the Federal Trade Commission on sketchy practices emerging in these communities.
Many of these types of scam activities involve requests for personal credit card information, passwords, or other personal details that can be used against residents.
Some of these fraud activities revolve around telecom and computer service claims.
Others are even more aggressive and inhumane, and seem to engage emergency services with information about a family member.
There are also the widely documented cases where scammers pretend to be utilities providers, and ask for upfront information to correct a past due bill.
Officials are warning that any claims of past due bills that involve requests for upfront credit card information are likely to be scams. The Better Business Bureau and other agencies are pointing out that most legitimate businesses have either postal mail or secure online transaction models to protect the financial details of their customers.
Dealing with Scams and Business Liability Issues
These kinds of extreme scams are indefensible, and don’t have a place in modern business. However, the field of business litigation is wide and complex, and business lawyers help to not only shield businesses from risks, but to explain to them just what their rights and responsibilities are.
