BBB Institute welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with organizations and universities interested in publishing new insights that empower us to foster a fair and trustworthy marketplace for all consumers and ethical businesses.

Quality research about challenges facing a trustworthy marketplace is critical to protecting consumers and leveling the playing field for legitimate businesses.

As a non-partisan, neutral organization, BBB Institute is able to produce research that provides fresh insights into the scam landscape, identifying the latest tactics used by scammers, creating data-driven consumer and business education materials and programs, and sharing our findings with law enforcement.

Past collaborations include:

Exposed to Scams: What Separates Victims from Non-Victims? (2019): collaboration with FINRA Foundation, Stanford Center on Longevity and Federal Trade Commission

New Insights into Demographic Groups More Vulnerable to Scams (2021): collaboration with University of Minnesota and the University of Southern California
