The Better Business Bureau . . . is being accused by business owners of
running a "pay for play" scheme . . . A plus ratings are awarded to those
who pay membership fees, and F ratings used to punish those who don't . . .
a group of Los Angeles business owners paid $425 to the Better Business
Bureau and were able to obtain an A minus grade for a non-existent company
called Hamas, named after the Middle Eastern terror group. . . "this rating
system is really unworthy of consumer trust or confidence," said Connecticut
attorney general Richard Blumenthal in an interview . . . on 20/20.
