The following charities are BBB-accredited: American Red Cross, AmeriCares, Church World Service, Direct Relief, GlobalGiving Foundation, Humane Society of the United States, Islamic Relief USA, MAP International, Operation USA, Salvation Army, Save the Children, United Methodist Committee on Relief, and the United Way of Greater Houston.
To report a suspected scam, you can contact the BBB Scam Tracker, call 800-621-0508 or write to consumeremergency@nag.texas.gov. ”
