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

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.
