Tons of paperwork and waiting time, or immediate gratification with similar results?

Shortly after obtaining my business license, I began receiving calls from the Washington State BBB wanting me to join. Each time, I asked for the information to me mailed to me for my review. I never received it.
ReplyDeleteEach call became more "hard sell," with one caller insinuating that if I didn't join, "you'll suffer dire consequences." When I posed as a receptionist, the callers would say things like "This is the BBB of Washington and I must speak with *the owner* of this company. An situation has come up that requires *his* immediate response." They didn't even know who they were calling!
After the 20th call, they finally stopped calling me but only after I threatened legal action against them for harassment and intimidation.
Talk about bad business practices!
