I was reading a BBB alert about a site called 3HourProfits.com in which the BBB stated:
"3HourProfits.com of Minnesota charged one Wilson consumer to begin applying their internet marketing concepts and claimed the consumer would start making a profit within the first three hours of work. After paying, the consumer was re-routed through PayDotCom.com to set up an account for the commissions she would make. The site would not let her log-in to set up, and after contacting 3HourProfits.com multiple times she has yet to receive a response or reimbursement for the $39 start up fee. 3HourProfits.com is also operating under the name of Force One Events, Inc. and they claim to be ‘ranked #1 on BBBReviews.org.’ BBBReviews.org is in no way associated with the Better Business Bureau. The name is misleading, but neither 3HourProfits.com nor Force One Events, Inc. is a BBB Accredited Business. Force One Events, Inc. has failed to respond to several complaints and has an “F” rating with BBB."

A 10/16/2009 BBB alert warned of a new phishing e-mail posing as BBB complaint confirmation:
"Beware of Bogus Emails coming from complaintsmajdivision@complaints.bbb.org
Better Business Bureau is alerting consumers and businesses about a new phishing attack that resembles an e-mail confirmation claiming the recipient has filed a complaint with BBB about a business. The malicious e-mails first came to the attention of BBB on Thursday, October 15.

A very long time ago I ordered a product from M.O.R.E. Inc. called "Dialing for Dollars". It was a pretty decent product – especially for the time – about using automated answering machines as part of a 2 step direct mail sales process.
