The Better Business Bureau is warning businesses all over the country they could become the next targets of an E-mail scam.

In this buyer beware report it says hackers got into business computer systems causing them to send thousands of E-mail messages, which appear to be complaints filed with the bureau.

The phishing scam uses the BBB's name and a false bureau E-mail address. If you get one, it directs you to click on a link to download the complaint, but don't do it. That download is a file believed to be a virus.
