On the morning of October 24, the scammers sent out a massive attack preying on people’s e-mail. They altered their mail message to match the BBB, but more than five million e-mails did not go through and bounced back to the BBB office. That is how the BBB knew the scammers sent out a massive attack on consumers. This is a new scam, but the BBB hopes that by warning consumers early they will prevent them from becoming a victim.
