BBB Warns Of Phishing Emails

November 28, 2011

Better Business Bureau Serving Northwest Florida is warning of an email phishing scam that is using the BBB’s name.

The scam, reported across the country, including in northwest Florida, uses a false BBB e-mail address to entice recipients to access potentially damaging hyperlinks and attachments, according to Karen Szulczewski of the local BBB.

None of the BBB’s computer or e-mail systems is involved in this hoax and the attack has not affected the computer system of the BBB or compromised any BBB-held data, she said.

The latest round of emails appear to come from risk, alert or service at bbb.org, along with other spoofed email addresses.

The BBB is warning recipients of such emails not to click any included links or open any attachments.
