Better Business Bureau is
issuing an urgent SCAM alert cautioning businesses and consumers about an email
that looks like it is from BBB, with the subject line “Complaint from your
customers.” This e-mail is fraudulent; ignore its contents and delete it
immediately. If you have already clicked on a link in the e-mail, completely
delete the message from your inbox and run a full virus scan of your computer.
The e-mails have return addresses that BBB does not use (one example is
riskmanager@bbb.org) and it is signed with the address of the Council of Better
Business Bureaus, the national office of the BBB system. The e-mail contains a
link to a non-BBB web site. Do NOT click on the link.
BBB is working with law enforcement to determine its source and stop the
fraudulent campaign.
