Your periodic reminder that the Better Business Bureau is a sham organization.

Back when I ran a business, I got scammed by a credit card processing company. They did a bait and switch on a contract.

I filed a complaint with the BBB. The BBB contacted the scam company and solicited a response from them. The scam company responded that they were right and I was wrong.

The BBB closed the case, said it was resolved satisfactorily. I called them to ask how that could be. I was still scammed and the scam company still had my money.

The BBB said that when a company responds to a complaint, that shows they are acting in good faith and can retain their rating.

I asked the BBB, "So, even if the scam company's response is 'fuck you,' they get a pass? The BBB rep said yes.

That is the last time I ever paid attention to the BBB. Just ignore the BBB. You will be better off.
