New Milford was scam free in 2016, and did not report any scams to the BBB. 0
Reports to BBB Scam Tracker in 2016 confirmed that tax scams are still the top scam, despite a huge drop in reports after a September police raid in Mumbai, India. The list was compiled based on more than 30,000 scam reports filed by consumers on bbb.org/scamtracker.
New Milford did not have any scams reported in 2016 to the BBB . In Connecticut, the top scam was described as “Tax Collection” (28), “Debt Collections” (17), and “Employment” (16).
The top three scams on the 2016 list for the entire US – tax scams, debt collection scams, and sweepstakes/prizes/gifts scams – were the same as in 2015. New to the top ten are online purchase scams (#4) and phishing scams (#10). Online purchase scams were common in 2015 as well, but this scam type was not added as a BBB Scam Tracker category until 2016. Employment scams (#5) are also new to the top ten, but only because work-from-home scams, previously a separate category, were included. Another change was the drop of tech support scams from #4 last year to #7 this year.
