Description

Scam report submitted on behalf of target by BBB Employee: "The date it happened was June 5th, 2025. It started with an email stating my McAfee had expired and they charged me $730 and if I didn't want it to call. I did. I spoke with someone and we started the process. It turned out that we went through the Better Business Bureau site as a preferred business. We logged into a portal and accessed a refund page. I was to enter the total in two amounts. The first was $300. When I went to enter it the system glitches and added a bunch of zeros and jumped to the confirmation page. It had deposited $30,000. Now the guy was saying we need to fix it right away because it looks like fraudulent activity and the BBB would come after me. So he got on the phone and I could hear his end of the conversation and he was saying things like no, I don't want to report her, this was a mistake, an accident, how do we fix it. Then I got emails about a non active warrant. Then we go through this portal again, and he already seems to have the last four digits of my bank account. I said I never purchased anything and he said oh it was free on my computer ( yes we had bought a new computer). He said the service provider is where the info came from. We proceed with getting directions on what to do. He told me to go to the bank with this information he gave me and do a wire transfer before the money was actually in the bank. I did it. Of course it took my money. I got home and spoke to him again and he did this security wall again and said see your money is still there, the bank just couldn't see the transfer that went in. He said the computer needs to be connected to this portal so the money can be moved back to the BBB. He said I would get more papers by courier so the government can't come after me.
