Without going into too much detail, the video reports that BBB is basically giving companies and organizations a very low grade, even as low as an "F", just for not being a paid member of the BBB. Sure, some companies deserve an "F". but after you watch the video below, you will have a new concept of how the BBB works and the business that they run. If you want a better grade, and changed basically over night, all you need to do is pay a few hundred bucks to get an "A"!
Watch the full ABC 20/20 News Special on Better Business Bureau video here.
- Well known companies such as Wolfgang Puck, The Ritz Carlton, DisneyLand and other companies have all received ratings of an "F" from the BBB.
- The BBB is a non profit company, but there are more than two dozen individuals in the company earning six figure salaries. William Mitchell, the head of BBB, earns over $400,000 per year.
- Earlier this year, the Mid East terror group "Hamas", received a rating of "A-", when applying with the Better Business Bureau. This wasn't actually "Hamas", but a company listing setup by bloggers to "punk" the BBB. The price of this Hamas "A-" rating was $425. Even better, the same group listed a another fake company, which was for a racist white power web site, and used the actual contact name of "Aryn Whiting", which was also approved with an "A+" rating after paying a $425 membership fee.
