Missouri will not tolerate charity fraud.
Our office secured a guilty plea and more than $104k in restitution after Constance Kruse stole charitable donations intended for pets in medical need and diverted the funds to personal luxury purchases, including Louis Vuitton purses.
Our consumer protection section will continue working to hold wrongdoers accountable when they betray public trust.
Had a great time this morning chatting with Gregory about the latest BBB news and info on @WGCATheMix this morning. #TrustBuiltLocally
I appreciate Stephanie Nau with @KTVOTV for reaching out to inform their viewers about what to do after a storm strikes. Beware of unscrupulous contractors. ktvo.com/news/local/better-b…

Did you know that it's National Consumer Protection Week? Well, you do now thanks to this story from @WGEM - wgem.com/2026/03/03/major-mo…
Mike makes a great point. I see this a lot in complaints file to BBB. A lot of $ after the total. Are we teaching anything these days? (Not a shot at educators. You have your hands full.)

I’ve seen a number of accounts, some school accounts likely run by young people and other young journalists, who report losing scores first.
The proper way to list a score is the winning score first every single time. Your team did not lose 68-75. They lost 75-68.
Thank you.
Thanks to @WGEM for shining the light on rental scams in the Quincy area. wgem.com/2026/02/17/bbb-warn…
Pro tip: You don't really have to hit "reply all" on that email. You can email the person directly congratulating them for a new job.
