The Better Business Bureau warns of a computer virus scam. It could be in your e-mail right now and you don't even know it. The scammers are posing as the BBB asking you to register for software or to update your information. The scammers pick credible agencies like the BBB to gain your trust. Little do you know they are out to steal your personal information through e-mails and blog posts. "It's an attack to collect some of your information if you keep a lot of passwords, account numbers, things like that," says Joellen Wollangk of the Better Business Bureau.
The BBB warns don't click on anything that looks suspcious or you'll find yourself with a computer virus. Just this morning the scammers sent out a massive attack preying on people's e-mail. They altered their mail message to match the BBB, but more than five million e-mails didn't go through...bouncing back to the BBB office. That's how they knew the scammers sent out a massive attack on consumers. This is a new scam, but the BBB hopes by warning consumers early they will prevent you from becoming a victim.
