BBB Logo, Name Used In Phishing Scam

Middle Tennessee’s Better Business Bureau said thieves have been sending out emails with their name and logo.

If you receive an email from the BBB, it may actually be a phishing scam.

Phishing scams look legitimate, but are really fronts to steal passwords and account information.

The BBB said it’s working with law enforcement and a private firm to get the emails stopped. If you receive them, the BBB said people should not click the links in the email. If it’s addressed “Dear member” instead of a name, it’s not legitimate. Also if it asks you to do some kind of radical action, like “pay a fee or we’ll close your account” it’s not legitimate.
