Received notice from supposedly BBB for notification of money fraud. The email came from Better Business 4 [email protected]. He gave me the # 408-668-8216.

An email sent to me (my non profit work email) about a BBB customer complaint (which doesn’t make sense because I don’t work for a business).

- Sterling Heights, MI, USA • Dec 12, 2023

received an email that stated the following attached.

- Camp Wood, TX, USA

On 4/11/23, I reveived a call from a person sating his name as David Brown; he had a distinct accent (perhaps Middle East). I hung up on the first call and blocked it; he kept calling using different phone numbers(757 291 3811, and 407 321 0011).

He said he was BBB employee and connected to a company National Debt Relief; he had my SS Number. He stated that I was a person who paid more than required on my credit cards each month. He said he knows that i pay too much interest, and that their company could take away all of the interest fees attached to the accounts so that I would just pay Principal. He never suggested that he knew any account numbers. I told him that I had been scammed before, and that this sounded "way too much like a scam", and that I didn't even want to hear the "punch line." He said that he had not asked for money, had he? I said that they sounded too much like the Financial Freedom Agency SCAM; I asked what country he was from? He said he was born in NY. I told him I know NY accents, and that his was from another country. I asked what his ancestral country was? He kept saying he was born in US. I finally told him that he was a Scammer who, it seems, is ashamed of his ancestral country! I heard "Crickets." He said I"ll let you talk to my Supervisor, who got on phone with the "typical" rhetoric, attempting to smooth out things and suck me in further. I hung up. I immediately went into my phone, in Settings, and clicked on "phone" and then turned on the "Silence Unknown Callers" who puts this type caller directly into my Voice Mail. If it is a "legit" caller, they will leave a message.

- Mckinney, TX, USA

Received an email asking me to docusign something. I've received two emails so far from two different email addresses. Definitely not from anyone at the BBB.

- Springdale, PA, USA

Received call stating they were the Better Business Bureau from 800-945-2000 and they were going to freeze my credit. I looked at the phone number and it came up as spam on my phone but google it and it comes up Chase Bank. I do not have a Chase Bank and think their number may be spoofed

- Simsbury, CT, USA

I received an email today from someone claiming they are you, the BBB and I have a complaint I must docusign. Just wanted to let you know. I attached a copy of the email in HTML form.

- North Versailles, PA, USA

The scammer identified me by my home phone number and then proceeded to say my credit was good and I made payments on time and he said that I made even higher payments than usual and then he proceeded to say I didn't have to pay my credit cards anymore because he was from the better Business bureau. He said the government only laws 2.9% in credit and the banks were charging me credit cards were charging me too much interest and they weren't allowed which I think is a bunch of baloney This guy was just kept on talking I hung up on him

I received an email with the subject "Notification Case. 234656" claiming to be the Better Business Bureau. It had the BBB logo and name with a registered trademark symbol at the end. The email said: "Dear Business Owner: We are formally notifying you of a claim submitted against your company with the Better Business Bureau in the nature of a falsified insurance claim. Your company has a rebuttal period of 7 business days from the receipt of this notice, to respond to the claim. The response must contain a final rebuttal and be no more than 5 pages in totality.

The full compliant filed as well as the response form and instructions for submitting your response have been attached to this email. Due to the privacy of the claim the file is password protected. The password is the complaint reference number found on the subject of the email. You can download the file at the link below.

If we have not received notification from you within the allotted time the claim will awarded to the party filing the claim and they may take further action if they choose to do so, depending on the severity of the claim. Waiting for your reply, Better Business Bureau" I called my local BBB and was told it doesn't have this complaint against my company in its records. I forwarded the email to the BBB so that they could see what it says.

- Cape Coral, FL, USA

I received 2 emails indicating there was a complaint filed against my business. Email had BBB and symbol but email address was [email protected]. The first Case No. was 124578; and then 127845 the following day. Wants me to click a download for details; WHICH I DID NOT DO. I believe this is a scam.

Received an email regarding a BBB complaint against my business in my Junk mail. Obviously this is a scam using the BBB as a way to get people to click a link to gain more information about the people they are trying to scam. BBB beware. They are using you.

- Appleton, WI, USA

This supposed corp told me they were through the BBB that they also were working on paying my student loan off or partially they said they had to get within my student loan to do such, so they sent me through my e-mail a way to set up a new password through my federal loan and he wanted the six digit number. When I asked him why he hung up. I did not give him that information though. I knew that it was wrong when he asked for the new passcode. They are looking to getting my personal information.
