I am the assistant to the Realtor Shannon Schmitz. She received the attached email indicating that we needed to download a complaint that was filed against her with the BBB. We noticed spelling errors and the website the email was sent from were not BBB related so we did not download the attachment, but we may have downloaded malware if we had. Just wanted to make you aware that people are posing as BBB agents with spam emails.

An email was sent to me from a KACY C MORTON claiming to be a representative of BBB. Email regarding a compliant/violation of the health and safety act. The email wanted me to click on a link and respond within 24 hours.

The above number is a reference number given within the email regarding this issue. My name or my businesses' names are NOT mentioned in the email. I will NOT click on this link. I think it is a scam. The email from KACY C MORTON is [email protected].

Thank you

Got this email today. Even though I know the company I work for would not violate H&S acts you never know if a complaint could be filed. However, the wording / grammar was very suspicious. Looked it up and sure enough others have received the same scam. I dont know what they want but I'm not going click on the link to find out either.
