As the new coronavirus has spread, so have pandemic-related scams. Bogus natural cures, fake charities, faulty medical masks — these scams and more have popped up all over the country.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Susan Adams Loyd, CEO of the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota, joined Angela to talk about scams and price gouging in our state and how Minnesotans can avoid becoming victims.

If you have a scam to report, you can do it on the Better Business Bureau website or by phone at (651) 699-1111. You can also report a scam on the attorney general’s website.
