One business is perpetrating an advance fee loan scam that targets consumers and businesses with poor credit records. The telemarketer proceeds to ask questions that have nothing to do with BBB business and leaves as a contact number 1.800.CALL.BBB.
"We urge people to double-check with their local BBB whenever they receive a dubious phone call or see the BBB name tied to a questionable promotion. KRT representatives claim that the business is a member of the BBB and suggest that interested customers call fictitious phone numbers for the "Southwestern Division of the BBB in Oklahoma City" and the BBB of Metropolitan Houston to request the company's BBB report."The company is using the BBB name as a shill for its business. The company has produced and is distributing a fake, glowing BBB reliability report," Hunter warns.
The callers generally claim to be phoning about a BBB complaint or to "update" BBB files.
The callers leave a 1.800.CALL.BBB (225-5222) as their contact phone number. That phone number, which is NOT owned by the BBB, is constantly busy.
Scammers Use Better Business Bureau Name To Commit Scams
With more folks turning towards private money lending in Florida, it's sensible to check with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) before doing business.; The BBB keeps track of all sorts of companies, like a roman guard of compliance.; Before getting a private mortgage loan always check with the BBB to make sure you're working with a quality mortgage lender.
