Beware bogus BBB e-mail
The Better Business System is warning businesses across North America that a false BBB e-mail address — operations@bbb.org – is being used to infect computers with damaging viruses. The message usually includes a hyperlink citing a BBB complaint case and related “DOCUMENTS FOR CASE” with a case number.
The links direct the recipient to a Web site where they are instructed to download documents related to the complaint. The download is believed to contain the computer virus.
The BBB says any e-mail coming from operations@bbb.org is bogus and should be deleted immediately without clicking the DOCUMENTS FOR CASE link.
