BetterBusiness Bureau is issuing an urgent SCAM alert cautioning businesses andconsumers about an email that is purporting to be from a bbb.org email addressabout a recently filed complaint. The email contains a dangerous attachmentregarding a complaint and appears to direct recipients to the BBB website. Thisis a scam - BBB does not send complaints as attachments via email.
Theemail appears to come from a fake BBBemployee claiming that the recipient needs to review this matter and advise theBBB of their position. From there, the email appears to direct the recipient tothe BBB website, but actually directs them to an outside link. This email isfraudulent and does not originate from BBB. The email attachment and link aremalicious and we are strongly advising to not open or click them.
Shouldyou receive such an email, please disregard its message, and report anyinformation received to BBB’sScam Portal, and then delete it. If you have clicked on the link, immediately do a virus scan.
