BBB advises caution with Michael Jackson memorabilia

The Better Business Bureau is advising people to be smart when buying Michael Jackson memorabilia.

A number of people tried to capitalize on the pop singer's death, with eBay listings of Michael Jackson-related items skyrocketing to 20,000 the morning after.

The BBB is reminding collectors to research the value and authenticity of items before buying, always pay for online items by credit card, and take all advertising claims with a grain of salt.

You can head to the Better Business Bureau website for more information.
