We have been receiving texts from someone claiming to be the ScamPulse.com sending us leads. They say they have a lead for our business and to click a link to receive more information. We contacted the ScamPulse.com and they verified that it is not from them.

I received a call from the number listed above. I was told I won a 2nd place prize of $45K that the ScamPulse.com conducts every 10 years and I won this prize because I shopped at Walmart. They wanted to confirm my account number to transfer the money. They wanted to confirm a long closed checking account and a very old address. I did not provide any current information. They also said I received a package or letter which might be possible since they had an old address on file. I found it interesting they are actually using the Better Business Bureau name in their scam.

I fell for a PCH scam and this person called me to retrieve the money for a fee of $800-900 with a money order from Walmart. He was going to give me the number to send this money order but I disconnected call before it got to that point. They continued to call me an additional two times.

Caller said his name was Brook Davis, from the Better Business Bureau; he claimed I had won $200K, and not to contact anyone.

I know this is a fraud. I was able to avoid the scam, and I am reporting it in hopes that no one will fall for it.

At the beginning of March 2020, my mother, who is 80 years old, got a call from a person stating their name was Eric Gomes and that he was a junior accountant at the Better Business Bureau. He said he worked in Washington DC. He told her that she had been scammed by people stating they can fix her hacked computer and that they had been arrested. My mother had given money to the computer scammers over a two month time period ($65,000) from December 2019 to January 2020, and he said that he could help her get her money back but would need her some money sent in order to work on her claim. She had sent several thousands of dollars sent in cash to the scammers saying they would fix her computer. Eric said he would help her get that money back and that the scammers were arrested. She understood she was scammed initially, but didn't understand that Eric was a scammer, too. She didn't understand that the Better Business Bureau didn't take or give money. She trusted him to help her.

“Eric” continued to call her almost every day. Some were “social calls” to build trust, and said he was helping her get that money back, told her to not tell anyone about it because it could hurt the case, told her at least once that he could lose his job if she didn’t send money to help him work on her claim. She asked once if she could speak with his boss and he said his boss was Matthew Hayden and he was a Senior Accountant with the Better Business Bureau. Matthew said that Eric was 'under him' at the Bureau. Eric had an accent. Both spoke to her at times to reassure her they were working on her refund. Eric continued to ask for more money but also befriended her asking about her family, telling about his and generally “chatting”. He was a master manipulator. He told her that he had some checks that were waiting for her in Moscow, Idaho with his contact there. Many times, he said if she didn't send more money, the checks for her “refund” would be cancelled. She sent in total: $276,000 for them to help her get this "scam" (computer scam) money back. Money was sent in cash to various locations around the US. On one occasion, she wired money to Thailand from her credit union account. Twice in July, 2020, "Eric" arranged a money pick up at her house and a person named "Alex" was going to pick up the money. "Alex" came on two occasions, once in a cab and once in what he said was a rental car. He came into her house and counted the money and then left. She had the money in cash ready for him as Eric instructed her. As of 8/9, my mother told me of the scam and she has been ignoring any calls and letting her land line go to voice mail. We have her in a safe place while involving the police detectives in investigating.

I received a call from a person stating that they were from the Better Business Bureau, and that I had won $900,000 and that all I had to do is go to my local Walgreens store and purchase a gift card. They asked me if I wanted news and tv crews present.

This woman with a British accent said that she was with the Better Business Bureau and tried to get me to sign up and provide a credit or debit card to charge the membership to at over $50.00 per month.When I requested that all information be sent to me in an email so that I could verify all terms she stated that the Better Business Bureau only does all information and charges via telephone.

Business owners, be very be wary of this tactic.

This scammer contacted me thru messenger pretending to be a friend on my contact list. They started by making small conversation asking how I was and what I was doing. Then my fake friend went on to ask if I had heard of this company and that she had just received $70,000.00 from them.There was no reason to believe this was not her.

They proceeded to share their link that looked quite official with a picture of “Bob Miller” as the listing agent who claimed to be with the Better Business Bureau giving grants to a list of possible people that could be eligible to receive big sums of money.

They asked for my name and address to see if I qualified. I gave it to them and got suspicious . I called my real friend and she said it was a scam.

An e-mail was received claiming the Better Business Bureau (BBB) received a complaint claiming our business is in violation of The Safety and Health Act. Upon further investigation, and discussion with the ScamPulse.com Boise office, it was determined the e-mail was not legitimately from the BBB. The ScamPulse.com does not have enforcement authority over health and safety matters. Also, the e-mail did not come from a known ScamPulse.com e-mail address (it came from "bbb.auditmessages.com") and did not have a standard ScamPulse.com complaint identification number or closing salutation.

A lady called stating she was with the ScamPulse.com and wanted to speak to the owner of a business we had several years ago. I asked what I could help her with and she said she wanted to update information in the system. I quickly stated the business hasn’t been in business for approximately 3 years and she started stuttering and said oh ok, and stated she would make note....and hung up.

after writing a complaint on BBB I got an email a few days later saying I owe money. The letter says:"Thank you for your comments. You do have a text message plan on your account and it's $5 a month....Without the text plan the charges would be $20 plus taxes...."Feel free to contact BBB with any questions or concerns" and it is signed "Better Business Bureau Northwest" with an email address of [email protected]. The 1-800 number is an Italian Couns. 800-686-4460

I received a phone call from a man who said that he was working with the ScamPulse.com and that I was gonna lose my internet service if I didn't pay $399.99. The number that he called from 1-512-380-8449. I know it wasn't a call from you all. I just wanted to let you know that they're using the ScamPulse.com name to get money from people and know I didn't fall for it. I told him that the ScamPulse.com don't call people about a internet service unless they have filed a complaint.

Email, purportedly, from the Better Business Bureau advising of a complaint against our company ... they just address it to "Business Owner". No phone numbers, addresses ... only a link to click to see the complaint. I did not click on it, but that is the lure to get someone to click the link.
