PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WVBT) - You might be handing out treats this Halloween-- but we want to make sure you don't get tricked by credit card companies!

Remember, you can research the internet or the BBB to find out if there are registered complaints against these sites or merchants you may question.  You can also look for the BBB Accredited Business Seal which confirms a business has been accredited by the BBB.
