SEBASTIAN — One of the Sebastian River Area Chamber of Commerce members recently alerted the organization about emails that appear to be sent from the Better Business Bureau that request you “click here to reply to the complaint.”
The Chamber has contacted the BBB and received this response:
We have received numerous calls and emails recently regarding an email which is made to appear as if it was sent by BBB of West Palm Beach or the Council of Better Business Bureaus.
This email contains an attachment regarding a complaint. The email is a fake. Please do not open any attachments and disregard this email. The email is fraudulent and does not originate from BBB. The email attachment may contain malicious content and should be deleted from your computer immediately.
Please note that BBB does not send complaints as attachments via email and strongly advises you to be careful when opening attachments even if you know the sender.
The BBB is working diligently to shutdown the malicious activity and will continue to do so until the threat is contained.
Use caution when linking to any website which may corrupt your own computer or ask you for your personal or business information.
