Questionable Companies
There are companies that I avoid because of past problems. In my
opinion, these companies demonstrated questionable business ethics in
their dealings with me. By following the link you can read about the
problems I had and draw your own conclusions. I believe that if a
company is unethical in one part of its business, I can not expect to
to behave better in others. For this reason, I believe you too might
want to avoid doing business with these companies.
Companies that try to mislead us
There are companies that I would like to avoid because they try to
mislead us in their advertising, prominently displaying certain rates
and prices, but leaving to the fine print information that adds
significantly to what we must pay. They hope that when we compare
their services with others, we will do so omitting these extra
charges. These companies also often have rate structures that are
difficult to understand (they often get it wrong too), making it very
easy for them to overcharge us without out noticing.
Companies that Don't Treat us with the respect we are due
There are other companies that I believe one should avoid because they
have employees who fail to treat the public with the respect they are
due. Such companies should be given the opportunity to address such
issues, apologiz for the actions of the their employees and taking
action to make sure that such treatment does not occur again. When
such companies chose not to set matters straigt, then those
considering doing business with such a company should know about such
matters.
Companies that we can't seem to track down
Some activities are conducted by companies, or in some cases criminal
enterprises, that hide their identity or contact information so that
we can not track them down. This section reports such activities.
Did someone cheat you? Do you want to tell the world? Do you have
ideas for allowing lots of people to tell the world just who cheated
them and how. This is the perfect domain from which to do just that.
