reviews & complaints

I would like to file a complaint against a business that is running under a disguise of a legit entity. The business is under the name "A-1 Groceries" and is located at "2919 Arlington Dr, Alexandria, VA 22306, United States" and the phone number is "[protected]". It is known that a person named "Mian Zulfiqar" is the owner but in fact the registration of this business is under a false name. The business is a scam where EBT, Food Stamps and other state sponsored programs are handled with neglect. Customers are given non-food items and cash payments in return of state issued subsidies. Also, I have noticed, there are employees hired on cash that have no proper paper work to work there. Please investigate this business since they are evading state laws and have a bad influence of other legit businesses in the area.

Thank you

Placed order on 1/10 for Breeze. Received email stating it was on it's way a few days later. Email had no tracking number so I called today to get a tracking number since my card was charged. I finally after numerous (at least 20) attempts got a live person on the phone. I asked about the tracking number and told there isn't one, so I asked him to call the warehouse where the order may have shipped from to get it and he told me he couldn't do that and that it shipped and would be here. I explained to him that they had taken the money for the order and should be able to give me a tracking number and he hung up on me. Extremely concerned not just about that but also further charges from what I am reading. At this point I want the order cancelled and my money refunded. This is not the type of company I care to do business with at all.

Like any other trust promise site which pretends to be fair and a trusted platform, BBB silences negative reviews with vague reasons like full name required or 'beyond' their scope or location/area.
The automated emails from their server have tracking pixels that are usually used by hackers to collect personal data such as device details, IP address, location and time.
Customer service is non existent. They fail to be a complaint bureau for us, the consumers.

We had a legitimate complaint against Saratoga Potato Chips. The company replied and we were not allowed to respond back to their final response. We feel that BBB took the position of the company instead of being a neutral party. They are supposed to allow the consumer a chance to reply to each response. The Northern Indiana Branch did not do this. They basically allowed the company a chance to cover up their situation and never let us respond with evidence. We had taken a video after receiving a bag of chips with glass chards. The company also has a review stating glass chards had been found by another family. They also have had violations in the past for mislabeled bags of chips which had allergens. They had Kroger chips Mesquite Barbecue which had Cheddar Cheese chips inside instead. This poses and allergy risk for consumers. BBB did not permit us to add our review evidence as needed. We just wanted to inform others.

I was cold called by a rep from Pure Path Marketing to place an ad in their "magazine". They place these so called magazines in high end country clubs. I agreed to a half page ad and paid $400. I was called a couple days later for a better placed ad in 3 more country clubs for $235. It was all very high pressure but seemed like a good deal. I come to find out through a BBB search that they have ripped off other businesses and the country clubs never heard of them. Their rating is a D. I filed a complaint with my bank and my money was returned. BBB tried to contact them but they ignored them. This gave them an F. Then I received a copy of a "magazine" which turned out to be a brochure, not a magazine. They claimed to have made my ad for me but I provided the entire ad, all they did was attach a picture of a Disney castle. I showed them what I had found online and they said that is permanent record once online and sent me a link from scam report site where a former agency I worked for made one against me because I left there. They literally researched this and showed it to me. They then proceeded to leave an additional report, a fraudulent report, on that site. They said their relative booked a vacation through me and was charged too much. None of the complaint made sense because it's not how it works with Disney. You can't get a higher price once you are paid in full but they were looking to smear me and had no idea how it works. The BBB advised me to report them to the Attorney GEneral for the State of Florida. This is a scam in every sense of the word. NO ONE sees these "magazines". The country clubs do not do business with this company. They even promised to book a vacation through me trying to convince me to place the ad. I have told every agency I know about them so no one else gets ripped off like I almost did. Thank goodness my bank saw through them too. If Pure Path Marketing calls you, HANG UP!

This site is useless for judging a company's good standing in trade - any company can go and pay them and they will give them an A- rating. I have had unpleasant surprises from purchasing from companies who supposedly have a "BBB" A rating.

Bbb scam alert. Fraud alert bbb is a scam! Bbb endorses scammers! Bbb is a fraud. Ratings are paid!
WWW.JUSTANSWER.COM has billing fraud scam reports all over the internet. Just answer has over 600 complaints with the bbb and this company has an a-rating! Bbb is telling the general public that even though your getting scammed we do not care because they keep the a-rating to other people who trust this site for advice on what to do. Bbb is a scam! Do your own research and you will see that both bbb and just answer have scam reports all over the internet but yet the bbb keeps an a-rating so everyone can keep getting scammed each and everyday! Look at this 20-20 interview to learn more about the bbb and its scams that its involved with!
