Is the BBB even relevant?
My assumption was that its influence is quite low since the advent of the Internet. If I were looking to see for a plumber or a moving company, I'd check Yelp or Angie's List not BBB.

BTW, Angie's list runs the same kind of scam.
This is why Consumer Reports is so trusted. They take no money from companies. They don't do ads or have sponsored listings of any sort. They buy the products retail and review them.
If you have sponsored listings you'll always be succeptible to this. There's rumors of the same happening on Yelp (reviews being filtered and such).
I hadn't heard that about Angie's List. I'd be interested in reading about it if anyone has a link.
