[pianotech] BBB

[Joseph Alkana]

That is definitely a come-on tactic they use. Been there done that. I think
it's unscrupulous, but what are ya gonna do? I would guess there is a zero
chance someone actually called the BBB regarding you or your business.
I joined for a year, back when I was a much younger pup, and found there was
a zero benefit to my business. Every year after that I got left messages
saying that someone had called regarding my business and that I needed to
call so and so back immediately at BBB. What a ploy. If there were anything
serious involved you would be contacted by mail with a request to answer
"charges" if anything were amiss. Hogwash and balderdash I say. 
Are there any real benefits that membership will provide? None, I'm inclined
to say.

Hi all.

I was contacted today by the BBB to join. It seems a bit 
pricey for what you _might_ get..already I'm getting a bad 
taste in my mouth from the person who contacted me. 
According to her, someone contacted the BB about me and my 
business, and they in turn contacted me..I'm calling BS on 
that one, and the person on the other end of the line did 
nothing to convince me otherwise.

Anyone here have any experience in belonging to the BBB?

Many thanks,
-Phil Bondi(Fl)
