The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is issuing an urgent scam alert, cautioning businesses and consumers about an e-mail 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.
Folks who have already clicked on a link in the e-mail should run a full virus scan of their computers.
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.
The BBB is working with law enforcement to determine its source and stop the fraudulent campaign.
