BBB warns small business owners of PayPal, Geek Squad scams

The Better Business Bureau is warning of a recent spike in Geek Squad and PayPal scams. The scam often starts with a fake invoice coming from Geek Squad, which is owned by Best Buy. It will state the victim will be charged hundreds of dollars for an annual subscription that is about to be renewed. The invoice will provide a number where the victim can call and cancel the subscription. Even if the victim doesn’t call the fake number, clicking on any PDFs or links from the initial invoice could put them at risk of identity theft.
