Better
Business Bureau is issuing an urgent SCAM alert cautioning businesses and
consumers about an email that is purporting to be from a bbb.org email address
about a recently filed complaint. The email contains a dangerous attachment
regarding a complaint and appears to direct recipients to the BBB website. This
is a scam - BBB does not send complaints as attachments via email.
The email
appears to come from a fake BBB employee
claiming that the recipient needs to review this matter and advise the BBB of
their position. From there, the email appears to direct the recipient to the
BBB website, but actually directs them to an outside link. This email is
fraudulent and does not originate from BBB. The email attachment and link are
malicious and we are strongly advising to not open or click them.
Should
you receive such an email, please disregard its message, and report any
information received to BBB’s Scam Portal, and then
delete it. If you have clicked on the
link, immediately do a virus scan.
