Better Business Bureau Reports Phishing Scam

A series of spam emails that seems to be coming from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) was seen in inboxes lately and the agency issued an official scam alert to warn consumers not to trust the phony messages.

The fake emails appear to originate from addresses hosted on the bbb.org domain and ask the recipient to advise the BBB on their position.

The attachment that comes with the alert replicates a BBB official page with the purpose of making individuals hand over sensitive information.

Users who receive emails that come from bbb.org addresses are advised to ignore the requests they make to avoid unfortunate situations. Also, if someone already fell for the scam, depending on the information they handed out, they should take the appropriate measures to ensure that their assets are safe.
