BBB's January 2023 Hot Topics

1.  A consumer reported that while trying to sell an item, they were contacted by a potential “buyer” who offered to pay for the item by Zelle, but first the consumer would be required to set up a Zelle business account. This is a common scam on Facebook Marketplace. Zelle and other payment apps do not require you to set up a business account to complete a transaction.

2.   A consumer reported an employment scam to BBB. The consumer applied for a transcriptionist position, and after a quick interview process was informed, she would be sent a check to purchase supplies. She contacted her bank, who verified the check was fraudulent. Beware of any “job opportunities” where the interview process seems almost too easy, and the employer sends you a check to purchase supplies. You can also look up reviews on a company at bbb.org before applying or interviewing.

3.   Consumers continue to report scam callers claiming to represent LG&E. The callers state that the consumer’s service will be shut off unless a past due invoice is paid. As a reminder, LG&E will never call you and demand payment over the phone. When in doubt, contact LG&E directly to check the status of your account.    

4.  Consumers continue to report scam Amazon phone calls to BBB. As a reminder, Amazon will not call to alert you of a large pending charge on your account. When in doubt, log in and check your Amazon and bank or credit card accounts. Do not give anyone access to your account information over the phone!  

5.  A consumer reported receiving a scam phone call claiming to be from PNC Bank. If you receive an unsolicited phone call from someone claiming to represent your bank, hang up and contact your bank directly. Do not give out any financial information over the phone!  

6.  A consumer reported to BBB that they received a voicemail alerting them that legal action was being taken against them. This is a common scam that tries to scare victims into thinking they will face legal consequences if they do not pay large fines. Don’t fall for it!  

7.   A consumer attempting to sell an item on Facebook marketplace was contacted by a scammer who wanted the consumer’s phone number. BBB warns consumers not to fall for this scam. Once the scammer has your phone number, they can set up a Google Voice number linked to your phone number, allowing them to conceal their identity for future scams and/or set up new accounts in your name.

8.  A consumer reported to BBB that they were almost the victim of a medical billing scam after receiving fake invoices. If you receive an unexpected invoice, contact your insurance company and medical provider directly to verify its authenticity.

9.  A consumer reported an online shopping scam to BBB after attempting to purchase a rare NBA jersey, which they never received. BBB reminds consumers to check bbb.org for reviews and reports on companies before making online purchases, use a secure method of payment, and don’t fall for “deals” that are too good to be true.  

10.  A consumer reported a delivery scam to BBB. They received a message that a package could not be delivered until they paid a re-delivery fee. They later noticed their credit card was used for unauthorized charges. BBB warns consumers not to respond to suspicious messages like this.
