Kelly Trevino with the Better Business Bureau says the next time you get this kind of flyer in the mail, do some research.
"Make sure that you verify that it’s a legitimate business. You can do that by going to www.BBB.org.
Take a look at the business profile and make sure that things add up. Is the phone number the same? Have they been in business for as many years as it says? Make sure you verify who they say they are." said Trevino.
