Using the Better Business Bureau Name

August 2004 - The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has issued a warning to consumers and businesses about two questionable operations that are using the BBB name to trick victims. One business is perpetrating an advance fee loan scam that targets consumers and businesses with poor credit records. The business claims to be a member of the BB and gives a fictitious phone number to verify their status. They ask for money in advance from the consumer to secure the loan.

The other operation is a telemarketer that poses as a BBB employee. The caller claims to be calling about a BBB complaint or to update BBB files. They attempt to gain personal information about the company and its operations.

Please double check with the local BBB whenever you receive a call from someone claiming to be with the BBB. The telephone number for the local BBB is 602-264-1721.
