BBB email scam


Recommended Posts

Got hit this AM on our main computer--wasnt able to stop the virus. Shut down EVERYTHING with an exe filename, which basically is everything.

Had an IT Manager at a local sign company that was able to help me get it off thankfully.

Get them all the time. Fake ones....Real ones...(joke). When you cursor over the BBB email address, it gives you another email address. It doesn't work, I've tried to send nasty messages to it. Some people sure have nothing better to do than to make life difficult for the working stiffs.

I got one sent to my home computer, a different email address than my work ... I use mailwasher to check messages on the cable server so I don't download stuff to my computer.

I forwarded the email to the bbb. Hopefully they catch them. Here is the response....

Dear Consumer:

Recently you forwarded one or more phishing emails to phishing@council.bbb.org. The emails purported to come from Better Business Bureau, but they are bogus.

As you may recall, some or all of your emails were blocked because they carried an attached virus.

This email is to advise you that although your emails were blocked, we have been able to recover them. The information you forwarded has been very helpful, and we thank you for forwarding it to us.

To learn more about the bogus BBB phishing scam, you can visit http://www.bbb.org/us/alert-phishing-scam-looks-like-bbb-email/.

Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Regards,

We ran into this the other day. Thankfully the malware that ended up on the person's computer that opened the attachment wasn't bad. Just had to restart in safe mode w/ networking and run Malwarebytes Anti-malware. If you don't already have this program running on your computer, I recommend it.
