For your protection - worth reading if you have ever been ripped off or better still, before you do business.

I received this link from a well respected newsletter I subscribe to.
As always, there are always a few bad apples in the barrel - this is a site that significantly decreases your chances of finding a rotten one (and what to do if you were unfortunate enough to pick one).
Here is some of the information I grabbed from their site below (which perfectly describes all that we as businesspeople should NOT be).

Search the Rip-off Report™ before you do business with retail stores with bad return policies, checking & credit theft, rebate fraud or other unscrupulous business policies such as phony auto repairs, auto dealer bait-and-switch tactics, restaurants with bad service or food, corrupt government employees & politicians, police corruption, home builders, contractors, unethical doctors & lawyers, online stores that sell non-existent products, dead beat dads & moms, landlords & tenants, fraudulent employment & business opportunities, and individual con artists who scam consumers. These are just a few of the countless topics available, and the list is continually modified as new categories emerge.
