Businesses across the country are getting phony calls claiming to be from the Better Business Bureau (BBB), asking if the businesses are planning to move. The calls are not from the BBB, and the source and purpose of the calls are unknown. BBB advises businesses to proceed cautiously with any unknown callers.
If your company received a phone call from the Better Business Bureau seeking to update records, particularly if your company is moving, be cautious. Furthermore, the caller ID on the calls displays all zeros.
The BBB wants businesses to know that the BBB does not call to ask if businesses are moving, and any calls from the BBB are clearly identified. Businesses can check with their local BBBs to verify any calls claiming to be from the Better Business Bureau, or to report any questionable calls.
Businesses can be targeted by a number of different schemes, including wire transfer scams, directory schemes, office supply schemes, and more. For BBB tips on schemes against business visit http://www.bbb.org/
