Better Business Bureau continues to warn the public of a fake email that is purporting to be from a bbb.org email address about a recently filed complaint. We’ve previously received reports of individuals’ computer systems crashing from downloading the attached links.
If you receive this questionable email, BBB advises the following:
- Do not open attachments or click on links
- BBB is working with federal investigators, if you would like to assist in these efforts, please forward the email to phishing@council.bbb.org.
- Delete the email.
- If the email links or attachments were opened, please immediately run a virus scan.
- BBB does as regular practice use email to notify businesses of customer complaints to ensure quick resolution to any consumer concerns.
- If you're a business owner in the Greater Maryland and believe you have received a legitimate complaint, email info@greatermd.bbb.org for confirmation.
