Better Business Bureau is issuing an urgent SCAM alert cautioning businesses and consumers about an email that purports to be from a bbb.org email address about a recently filed complaint. The email 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 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. If you have clicked on the link, immediately do a virus scan. BBB lawyers are working to find out who is behind this and will take all appropriate action to protect its trademark.
If you have any questions, please call the BBB Serving Metropolitan New York at 212-533-6200.
