March Group Warns Businesses on New Scam

Better Business Bureau has alerted businesses to beware of a new e-mail that falsely claims to be from BBB.  The email, appearing to be about a complaint filed against the company, was first noticed earlier this month on April 12th, 2010.
 
Many businesses nationwide have reported receiving this suspicious e-mail with the subject line “BBB from the Complaint Case #” followed by a nine-digit number.  The address of origin appears to be from seatac@bbb.org and has been sent to both BBB-accredited and not accredited  businesses. 

The email claims that a complaint filed has not been responded to and includes a false link to a page at www.ca-bbb.org where the complaint is available for review. 

As this email is a scam, both March Group and BBB representatives suggest deleting the email immediately, avoid clicking on the links embedded in the body and forward to phishing@council.bbb.org for monitoring.  A full virus scan of your computer is also advised.
 
If you receive an email from the BBB and want to check on its legitimacy, the Better Business Bureau suggests contacting them online at www.dallas.bbb.org or emailing info@dallas.bbb.org for confirmation.

For more information on buying or selling a business contact The March Group at www.marchgroup.com or call 866-663-5806.

    It seems like there are constantly new scams going around, but they are usually pretty easy to spot. They’re usually emails that try to convince you to download in order to win money or to click on a link for the newest celebrity gossip. I guess emails like this that are going out to businesses and from a source that you should be able to trust are just the new thing. The newest trick.
