Even your BBB gets phished:
Warning issued about United Supply
Even the BBB gets phished by scammers:
BBB issues alert about United Supply
Your BBB serving Central California is warning businesses about United Supply, an alleged business machine supply company. The company first targeted the area in July of 2009.
The company appears to be using a foreign-based call center and has contacted businesses in Central California requesting information about business machines being used. They say they are a supply company but are soliciting the information to provide the businesses with technical updates on the machines. When asked why a supply company would be involved in technical updates, the callers become agitated and hang up.

“Some myths are floating around that are leading people to believe that the census is inconvenient or unsafe, but the opposite is true,” said Doug Broten, BBB CEO. “Not only has the Census Bureau made completing the census easy, it’s also in the public’s best interest to respond to the census because it will help our communities receive the funding we all so desperately need.”

Your BBB offers account intervention services
Account Intervention Services
A little known service that your BBB provides to Accredited Businesses concerns intervention between ABs and clients they are having difficulty collecting from. If you are having difficulty resolving a financial dispute with a client, contact Diana Ivie at 800.675.8118, ext. 320. She will make contact with the client in an attempt to resolve the issue. There are no guarantees involved and your BBB is not a collection agency, but Diana’s negotiating skills and quiet manner frequently produce satisfactory results. She recently helped an AB in Reedley resolve an outstanding debt of nearly $14,000. The size of the debt does not matter: she also recently helped an AB resolve a claim for $74.
