BBB

I received a request for some information in the BBB yesterday, which claimed that someone (likely in the Lubbock area) wanted some general information about my company, and then gave me a form and a URL to fill out this information. It said nothing about who wanted the information, or why they wanted it, just that they wanted it.

I went ahead and gave over the information that they were looking for, though I think it might have been more straightforward if the person requesting the information just called me, or came into the office. Even better would be if the BBB let me know who wanted the information, and for what purpose, so I could decide whether or not to respond.

Anyone know, does the BBB really have its roots in the mob? I've known for a long time that the BBB is NOT a government entity, but most people still think that it is, and that a BBB approval (or their $400 sticker) was worth something. Hint: It's really not worth anything.
