The Myrtle Beach Better Business Bureau is issuing an alert about a scam e-mail that looks like it is from BBB, with the subject line "Complaint from your customers."

The BBB says the e-mail is fraudulent.

They ask that you forward it to phishing@council.bbb.org and then delete it.

If you have already clicked on a link in the e-mail, the BBB suggests running a full virus scan of your computer.

The e-mails have return addresses that BBB does not use and contains a link to a non-BBB web site. Do not click on the link.

The BBB is working with law enforcement to determine its source and stop the fraudulent campaign.
