Better Business Bureau BBB has no teeth Anon California

I have to say it is true what everyone says that the Better Business Bureau has NO TEETH. The least you could do is refer the victim to where they can find help.

What does the BBB do? I have complained about first getting a refund. The business is still in business. I am receiving NUMEROUS complaints from other people after placing a complaint blog online and there are others with similar problems. The reason why there are a lot of bad businesses getting way with crime is because there are no good organizations to help. The BBB might as well NOT be funded by the govt or anyone because the BBB seems quite useless and I will place your reply on blogs.

By not trying or helping stop bad business practices you are encouraging bad businesses to understand they can get away with crime.
