Better Business Bureau

The Better Business Bureau, one of the country's best known consumer watchdog groups, is being accused by business owners of running a "pay for play" scheme in which A plus ratings are awarded to those who pay membership fees, and F ratings used to punish those who don't.

To prove the point, a group of Los Angeles business owners paid $425 to the Better Business Bureau and were able to obtain an A minus grade for a non-existent company called Hamas, named after the Middle Eastern terror group.

For years, the Better Business Bureau was perceived as a great source for consumers to learn about reliable companies. Unfortunately that's no longer true and now I question if ever was true. The Better Business Bureau is not affiliated with any federal, state, or local government, and has no affiliation with any consumer protection government authority. The BBB is a privately held corporation and has no governmental authority over businessess.

The Better Business Bureau doesn't investigate companies, as long as you pay them, you will get an A+ rating.
