Scammer's email [email protected]
Type of a scam Phishing
Initial means of contact Not applicable

I received an email coming from "Howard Y Cao ", claiming to be BBB.org Abuse Department, Stating that "This email notification has been automatically sent to you because BBB.org has got a complaint, claiming that your company is violating the Fair Labor Standards Act.
You can download the document with the explanation of compliant by following the link https://bit.ly/2ji85De
We also ask that you give a short answer within 48 hours to us. This response should contain info about what you plan to do about it."
I believe it is a scam because we are not doing any business with anyone.

Type of a scam Business Email Compromise
Initial means of contact Not applicable

This was confusing because the email prompts you to follow a process similar to what the BBB.org asks you to do. It also mentions something very scary in our business stating someone said we "abused" a dog. However, the email address, name and branding on the email is not ligitmate at all. I didn't open the hyperlink (which did not resemble anything the BBB.org would actually put out) so I am not sure what engaging would have lead to but something, it seems, you want to stay far away from.
