 web posted October 31, 2007 COUNTY – The BBB has received several complaints from businesses and consumers about a spoofing scam using the BBB name and a false FTC e-mail address to entice recipients to access potentially damaging hyperlinks and attachments. The message reads: “A complaint has been filled against you and the company you are affiliated to by Mr. George Hanson and sent to Federal Trade Commission by fax, in witch he's claiming that he has been cheated by you and your company in paying a greater amount of money than the one appearing on the invoice you gave him for using your services. ”The complaint states he contacted your company on MON,22 OCT 2007, trying to solve this situation without interference from any Governmental Institution , but your company refused to take action. On WED,24 OCT 2007, the complaint was sent by fax to Federal Trade Commission and we forwarded it to Internal Revenue Service and Better Business Bureau.” The e-mail reply address is a fake and may appear to be from frauddep@ftc.gov or other fictitious e-mail addresses. If you have received a fraudulent e-mail, do NOT click on any of the links or open any attachments. Please help us in our work with the authorities by forwarding the e-mail and its headers to phishing@cbbb.bbb.org. Once you have forwarded the message, delete the message. None of the BBB’s computers or e-mail systems is involved in this hoax and the attack has not affected the computer systems of the BBB or compromised any BBB-held data. The BBB System and authorities are working together to stop these continued attacks. For more information about phishing and for tips to avert other scams, please visit http://www.bbb.org. The Edgefield County Chamber of Commerce provided this information. ©
