Alert
Beginning in 2012 BBB began receiving reports from consumers who had been contacted via online dating sites by an individual claiming to want to establish a relationship with the consumer before eventually asking the consumer for money to pay for tariffs needed to receive an international shipment of computers. Our research indicates the scammer has gone by at least four different names and claimed to own at least four different computer stores. For more information please see the following reports: Brad Computers Co., J&M Computers Co., and B & M Computers Co.
BBB is warning consumers to be wary if they find themselves in similar situations. Scammers sometimes use a technique known as "cat fishing" or a "romance scam" by which they gain a victim's trust by first establishing a romantic relationship before ultimately asking for money. For more information about this type of scam, read our article, watch our Torch Talk video.
Additionally, on its website, www.brancomputers.net, the company is advertising that it is located at 630 Bercut Dr, Sacramento, CA, United States. On March 17, 2017 BBB confirmed with the building's leasing office that no business by the name of Bran Computers Co. is located there.
