Received a complaint from the BBB. All I have to do is click on the link in the COMPLAINT REPORT and I will be on my way to fixing my BBB problem. Now I just need to download this complaint9984.pdf.exe to fix my complaint problem and wow that was easy, it’s all fixed now.
This link takes me to a website that looks like the BBB website. During the page loading it stops about half way and then prompts you to download file called complaint9984.pdf.exe. Some people may think this is a pdf, but its not. It is an executable file that loads malicious software onto your pc. The software tries to shutdown your antivus to hijack your pc.
Below is what the email looks like:
