Angie Barnett

Angie Barnett, president and CEO of Better Business Bureau of Greater Maryland, returns to warn about online scams, consumer fraud and other shady business practices. Also, she'll tell us about BBB's recent advisory to consumers about funeral costs. In addition, Marceline White of the Maryland Consumer Rights Coalition talks about the high fees and interest rates charged by rent-to-own stores.

In June, Loma International Business Group in Baltimore was shut down for charging immigrants for handling immigration forms that the group was not authorized to file. Spanish-speaking immigrants from Honduras and El Salvador lost money to this business by trusting them to file their immigration forms in order to gain a legal immigrant status in the United States. The company claimed it was authorized to perform such duties when in fact they were not, making it illegal for them to be charging money for their services.
