Dish no longer BBB Member

The only people who use the BBB are customers that are 60+ years old. Most of them are incapable of handling the advanced technology of satellite and so are too much of a pain in the *** to have as customers.

Wow, there have been some stupid things written on this board the past couple weeks, but this may be take the cake!

I guess I'm over 60 and too much of a pain in the a**

Well, coincidentally enough, I have been trying to find info on "Clem Roofing" in Ohio and my first stop was the BBB web site. Unfortunately these guys aren't listed and I may not do business with them since I cannot find independent comments on their work.

I was finishing doing yard work when I was approached by one of their reps (clean, well labeled construction truck trolling the neighborhood for wind-damaged roofs) and made me an offer that was too good to be true. I have tried several other avenues, but all I find is their web site. No BBB listing may lose them a job!

Don't need the BBB. You got your answer when you noticed he was driving around a wind damaged neighborhood looking for work. More than likely an out of town contractor looking to pick up some quick jobs who will then disappear never to be seen or heard from again.

Call your insurance company. They usually have a list of LOCAL contractors they work with on claims. If they don't know who this contractor is, stay away.

I am in 100% agreement with this one.

You missed the point. Had they had a BBB listing, it wouldn't matter if they were from town or not. I could have checked up on them.

See ya

Ck your local TV stations & newspaper web sites to see if they have done something on scammers in the area. If not give them a buzz and they may go out and do a story on them.

Why the assumption that they're scammers ? Not having a BBB listing nowadays doesn't mean squat. It's all about references, references, and references .... if they can't give any, who wants to be their first customer ? Or, they do shitty work and won't give out any references.

When Tony said they "made me an offer that was too good to be true", well, that says enough, doesn't it ?

I didn't miss the point. You said you could not find any info on the BBB about them. The price was "too good to be true".

If only you could just look them up on the interwebs you would feel better?

This scenario is legendary in storm ravaged areas. Next week this company with the respectable looking man and truck will have a new name and be in a city 500 miles from you.
