If you do not check a company before entering into a transaction, you could lose your money, time and credibility. Some widely used resources are the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org) and the national fraud center ( www.fraud.org) These days, you can easily find out more about a company using the internet in a few minutes. From a company's website, you can details about its ownership, how old the company really is and feedback from the company's customers.

Fraud.
Do you mean the one where you get a check in the mail saying you won? Dont cash it, its a fake check and it will bounce. The people who sent the check will ask you to send some money to pay for taxes so they can send the rest of your "prize", then you will never hear from them again.

If it's something that showing up on line, or in a letter sent to you, forget about it. It's a fraud.
