I AM SO UPSET

[Guest]

I too am sorry for your loss and that you are having

to deal with this crap on top of losing your husband.

If I were you I would call your local news stations

and have them do a story on it. They are able to put

a stop to it better than the BBB sometimes. Reporting

it to the BBB won’t do much unless people actually

look up the business before using it. Well obviously

they are contacting people so those people wouldn’t

even find out that they were turned into the BBB

before they are scammed as well. I am not saying to

NOT report it, because you should. But sometimes you

will find out that a company has 100s of complaints

already.

Anyway, please don’t let them get away with this. The

reason they have been able to do it in the past is

because people give up and just pay them or not report

them because its easier.
