Know the Seller
You might feel safer
dealing with companies you
already know and trust. If
you’re not familiar with the
name and reputation of a
company–and especially if
a seller has sent you an
unsolicited e-mail message
(spam)–find out more
before you buy.

Know the Seller
Check Before You Buy
Check a company’s reputation by contacting the Better
Business Bureau or by contacting the Office of the State
Attorney General in your state. Or contact either of those
offices in the state where the seller is located by accessing the
National Association of Attorneys General.
Consumers can also search for businesses that have the
BBB Online Reliability and Privacy Seals.
