The Better Business Bureau or BBB.ORG is a Scam. They are a non-profit organization where their income comes from having

businesses pay a "membership" fee. This means that businesses are the BBB's source of income (even though they don't report

income). If a business pays a membership fee, then their rating is an A or A+ rating. Business that refuse to "join" their

club have a B to F rating. Especially if the business disagrees with the BBB information.

In researching the BBB, businesses that pay for a membership receive an A or A+ rating no matter the number of complaints.

There are businesses that have over 30 complaints in 12 months with A+ ratings because they paid a membership. Where a

similar business with 22 complaints in 12 months that does not pay a membership fee has an F rating.

The BBB is just like the mafia. They strong arm, they extort, and they make you pay to play. The State and Local goverment needs to step end and stop the BBB they should not be rating any business what so

ever...

One final irony: if you have a complaint against the Better Business Bureau, you can't file it with the Better Business

Bureau. The Better Business Bureau is not a member of its own organization. However there are numerous State Attorney

General offices that are now investigating their practices. North Carolina Attorney General needs to investigate the NC

BBBs practies too. They are shady and false advertising and misleading consumers and damaging NC businesses that do not pay

for a membership.

Maybe it's all a big joke? But unfortunately consumers think the BBB is an honest organization, when actually they can

cause great damage to a business who refuses to pay their income.
