BBB Institute introduces BBB Scam Tracker upgrades
BBB Scam Tracker has a new look and powerful new features designed to make finding scam information faster and easier than ever. Along with a cleaner design, the updated platform gives consumers more ways to search and stay informed about the latest scams affecting their communities.
BBB Scam Tracker, our free scam prevention and reporting tool, helps consumers recognize scams before they become victims. By allowing users to search and learn from reports submitted by others, BBB Scam Tracker empowers people to identify warning signs and make informed decisions. In 2025 alone, it is estimated that the platform helped consumers avoid nearly $38.9 million in potential losses.
The redesigned BBB Scam Tracker makes it easier than ever to report scams, learn from the experiences of others, and protect yourself, your loved ones, and your community from fraud. Search can also be narrowed by ZIP code, giving consumers a detailed view of the scams occurring in their own neighborhoods and helping them stay alert to local fraud trends.
For an even deeper look at scam activity, the new interactive heat map provides a visual snapshot of scams across the country. Users can explore reports by location and compare trends based on date, scam type, median dollar loss, loss per capita, and total monetary losses. Whether you’re researching scams in your hometown or tracking emerging fraud trends nationwide, the heat map offers valuable insights.
