Beware of election scams

Published: August 15. 2012 4:00AM PST

Phony political donation requests and other scams are expected to start popping up this election season as voters get closer to casting ballots.

The Pacific Northwest office of the Better Business Bureau is warning consumers to be aware this election season. Techniques could include prize incentives for surveys, voter registration verifications or fake government-sponsored grants for economic recovery.

Solicitors might use tactics like going door-to-door, telemarketing calls or fabricated news articles.
