BBB Warns Of On-Line Game Scams

BEND, OR -- If you or your kids play video games on a computer or on a phone you need to be on the alert for thieves.  Many of the games sell currency that can be used in the games. Danielle Kane, with the Better Business Bureau of the Northwest, says scammers will have pop-up ads that appear to be legitimate. The ads may try to sell you currency for the game or get your personal information...but they're not related to the gaming company. Parents also need to warn kids about this scam. Also parents should caution children from going to chat rooms..
