Email from a person named Jan E Davis from the BBB.org Abuse Department, saying there was a complaint filed against our company regarding the Fair Labor Act. States to download the text file form link: https://bit.ly/2jhK4fp. Looks very fishy, and wanted to get info to BBB.org as soon as possible. No phone number listed in the email, only an incident number to use in my email back to them. Trashed the email immediately and did not respond.

Dear BBB,

I received the following email today from a party claiming to be from the BBB. I have not attempted to click on phishing link contained in the email or reply to it because it is obviously a scam. Just thought I would let you guys know.

Your kind attention to this matter and efforts in general are greatly appreciated.

I'm obviously being targeted but I'm not sure why because I don't own or operate a business. The grammar, typos and using a bit.ly link are suspicious! I copied and pasted the email so I could report it here and then marked as spam and deleted it
