Brand BBQ Announces New Menu

That's right, there's a new menu in town, but don't panic quite yet. All of your old favorites like The Beast and the Rib/Chicken Combo are still there, but we have added a little something extra...power. When "Branding Your Brand", you shall choose your bread (we love the pretzel roll), your meat (burger? maybe pork? perhaps smoked tofu??), and your toppings (so many delightful combinations). You now have the chance to live forever through your legacy in sandwich form, because creation is king and we are handing you the crown.
Bonus: Fish Fridays at Brand BBQ!
Each and every Friday from 5-10 pm, Brand will once again be offering our "Fish and Chips": a cornbread-battered Cod Po' Boy on a hoagie roll with mixed greens, tomato, coleslaw, citrus tartar sauce and hand cut fries for $11.95. We promise it won't taste like Lent!

Daily Deal Site SaveMore Accused of Being a Scam

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) says customers from 45 states filed complaints in the last 10 months saying they never received discount coupons purchased from the Texas-based daily deal site SaveMore.com. The BBB urges extreme caution when dealing with SaveMore.com, a business with close ties to Douglas Van Arsdale, founder of the notorious debt settlement company, Credit Solutions of America. SaveMore.com has an “F” grade with the BBB, the lowest grade possible.

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) warns businesses to beware of a malicious e-mail claiming to be from the BBB about a complaint filed against a company. The BBB does not send complaints out as attachments.

IRS SCAM
A message claiming to be from the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility is being received by taxpayers instructing them to acquire a new EIN.

NOTE: The text in the subject line and/or body of the message may read differently, but the message is similar.

If you receive this fraudulent email, be advised of the following:

1. The IRS does not initiate taxpayer communications through email.
2. Do not reply to the sender, access links contained in the email or submit any information.
3. Forward the message as-is immediately to phishing@irs.gov
