The guide explains common scams that target small businesses, describes scammers\u2019 tactics, and provides steps that you can take to protect your business from scams. Tell your employees and colleagues what to look for so they can avoid scams.<\/p>\n

Scams & Your Small Business<\/em> guide can be your best protection against scammers. Check out the guide here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Speak Up Against Scams<\/h3>\n

Report any illegal, unethical, or improper behavior. Our Ethics and Compliance Hotline<\/a> is an anonymous reporting mechanism that facilitates reporting of possible illegal, unethical, or improper conduct when the normal channels of communication have proven ineffective, or are impractical under the circumstances.<\/p>\n

At CRI\u00ae<\/span> Group, we are committed to having an open dialogue on ethical dilemmas regardless. This hotline is available to all employees, as well as clients, contractors, vendors and others in a business relationship with CRI\u00ae<\/span> <\/span><\/a> and <\/span>\u00ae<\/span> <\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Compliance Hotline is accessible by both phone and online. If you make a report directly by telephone, you will speak with the Compliance Department directly. If you submit a report online, the system will guide you through the reporting process, and a PIN number will be generated automatically once you complete the report.<\/p>\n
