The Better Business of Bureau of Minnesota and the Federal Trade Commission are rolling out a new initiative called, “Operation Mainstreet”.  It’s designed to help fight scams targeting small businesses across the state.  BBB CEO Susan Adams Loyd says small businesses are the backbone of the state’s economy.  She says nearly 70-percent of all small businesses in the state believe they are more at risk for scams than just three years ago

Officials will also release a detailed report on the top scams affecting Minnesota businesses.
