Eyeswide,
FYI-- The message below in red was in my "OSO in box" this morning." Hopefully, this will give you an idea of what kind of people you would be dealing with. The story I told you yesterday was the absolute truth and if you have any doubts, ask Jeff or Scott.
I am going to remind you again that my attorney is monitoring your threads on the site. If need be, we will be contacting eyeswideopennow and get the specific detail on your conversation. You need to be very careful. I am fully prepared to pursue civil charges for defamation if this continues.
This is not Jeff Wison responding to you; this is the owner of the company.
Your cooperation is appreciated.

NO.... My wife decided to check with the BBB.... They referred her to the Toledo BBB website. Marine Tech Concepts has a grade of C-. Apparently had a customer complaint with "sales practice issues- Claims of alleged sales presentations made in person or by telephone that contain misrepresentations of the product or service ....verbal representations not consistent with written contractual terms or agreements." You can read the whole spiel for yourself if you go to www.bbb.org and look for the Northwestern Ohio/Southwestern Michigan one. My wife just typed in Marine Tech Concepts, Port Clinton, Ohio and the report comes up. ENOUGH TO CHASE ME AWAY. Am now looking at another boat at Gem Beach Marina. Not in any real hurry.

FYI.. The BBB is an absolute joke! Its nothing more than a cleverly designed advertising agency. The only thing you need to become a member is a few copies of invoices from work you have done and a check for the membership dues. You automatically start off with an A+ rating and maintain that rating until someone files a dispute against you. A disgrungled ex employee with no credibility can ruin a BBB rating.

You left out the part about it being untrue. Those are things that Could happen. If you treat your customers fairly and work to maintain a good reputation, then your rating would remain high.

The biggest joke about the BBB is that only individuals can file complaints against businesses. If another company fuks your business out of 10 mil. the BBB doesnt care, you can not file a business to business complaint. My point is that a totally chitty business who does mostly commercial work and very little private work can maintain an A+ rating and an otherwise great company can have its image tainted by some overly picky azzhole of a customer or someone with an agenda posing to be a customer.

There is absolutly nothing untrue about what I posted. There is no "good" reporting on businesses with the BBB. You can only file complaints, not praise. If no one complains about you then you retrain a high rating. I'm an accredited BBB member with an A+ rating and the only thing I do is stroke the check every year for the membership dues and get flooded with phone calls for the rest of the year asking for more $$ to be placed in some sort of stupid advertisement or another.

Not sure what your connection is to MTC or Jeff Wilson, but this is the second thread in which you have tried to save face for them. You can discredit the BBB all you want, but where there's smoke, there's fire!!!

OH Christ! here we go again with the assumptions.
My posts about the BBB dont have anything to do with Jeff Wilson or MTC, I was simply pointing out that the BBB isnt the ironclad authority on bad business practice that many people think it is.
My only connection to Jeff or MTC is that Jeff picked up the lunch tab without being asked, for an entire poker run that I put on a few years back. Thats a pretty deccent gesture if you ask me. If you consider it trying to "save face" then so be it.
