A cyberattack shuts down bbb.org in an attempt by scammers to hide fake companies created to rip off customers

– Scammers are trying to silence the Better Business Bureau by attacking its online website used by visitors to research companies.

The businesses are Harrison RV, an RV dealer in Iowa, and two Alabama trucking companies, Alabama Truck and Equipment and AL Truck LLC. During the last 12 months, customers have lost between $6-7 million in deposits sent to these companies for RVs or equipment they never received. The Better Business Bureau discovered the scam and posted warnings about the companies on its website. The scammers then attacked bbb.org to try to shut it down to prevent customers from learning about the scam.
