Business owners, be very be wary of this tactic.

Type of a scam Government Grant

This scammer contacted me thru messenger pretending to be a friend on my contact list. They started by making small conversation asking how I was and what I was doing. Then my fake friend went on to ask if I had heard of this company and that she had just received $70,000.00 from them.There was no reason to believe this was not her.

They proceeded to share their link that looked quite official with a picture of “Bob Miller” as the listing agent who claimed to be with the Better Business Bureau giving grants to a list of possible people that could be eligible to receive big sums of money.

They asked for my name and address to see if I qualified. I gave it to them and got suspicious . I called my real friend and she said it was a scam.

An e-mail was received claiming the Better Business Bureau (BBB) received a complaint claiming our business is in violation of The Safety and Health Act. Upon further investigation, and discussion with the ScamPulse.com Boise office, it was determined the e-mail was not legitimately from the BBB. The ScamPulse.com does not have enforcement authority over health and safety matters. Also, the e-mail did not come from a known ScamPulse.com e-mail address (it came from "bbb.auditmessages.com") and did not have a standard ScamPulse.com complaint identification number or closing salutation.

Email, purportedly, from the Better Business Bureau advising of a complaint against our company ... they just address it to "Business Owner". No phone numbers, addresses ... only a link to click to see the complaint. I did not click on it, but that is the lure to get someone to click the link.

Type of a scam Identity Theft

I was contacted by someone on the phone claiming to be from the Better Business Bureau, stating they we had been scammed by a computer tech business in the past and they were going to give me a refund. I was very skeptical but did do what they asked me to do on my laptop. They would tell me that it was illegal for them to take control of my computer but I could see the mouse moving around to do commands, when I asked them about this they said it was an automated program by Microsoft. While I was talking to them I got on my tablet and typed in Google "Better Business Bureau scam my computer tech". It did come up so while I was talking to this man I took the battery out of my laptop and told him that our conversation was done that I checked and found out I was being scammed. He asked me if I had touched my computer, when he realized he no longer had control over my computer he told me it was to late that they had already gotten all my passwords & info they needed from my computer. I hung up the phone and immediately called our bank putting a stop on any internet access to our account. I was advised to come down and close all accounts, get new atm & credit cards. Also to have my computer checked for malicious software they had added. What a pain, but I was the stupid one who let them have remote access to my laptop. Now I have to set all new passwords. On my computer.

On Friday, 4/5/19, I received a voicemail from someone stating that she was Allison Marie. Here is the transcript that I received "Yes, this is the Better Business Bureau. My name is Allison Marie. This message is for the owner of the company. Please return my call at 443-233-6162. Today is Friday, April 5th. I am in the office until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. We are calling regarding reporting information. 443-233-6162."

My business has an address in Oakland, MD. So, this is the zip code that I am using. I emailed the ScamPulse.com Office of Metro Washington, DC. This was the latest response. "That is this ScamPulse.com https://www.bbb.org/local-bbb/bbb-of-greater-maryland. I did see these following numbers for them listed on the site. Not that number but numbers that match what you gave https://www.bbb.org/greater-maryland/get-to-know-us/about-us/key-staff/. I can tell you as a whole, that ScamPulse.com has sales Rep who reach out to businesses regarding membership. That is why you may have received a call from the ScamPulse.com or if you filed a complaint and the handler maybe needed more info regarding that complaint. I do apologize but that is all the information I can give you right now pertaining to this number.

Sincerely,

ScamPulse.com Customer Service Team"

I still did not feel comfortable. So, I contacted the Maryland office and spoke with Shanika ***, Accredited Business Services Specialist, 410-347-5641. She confirmed that there was no one by the name of Allison Marie at their office. I asked Shanika for a place to report this incident and wanted to share with you.
