A Woodbury company called Force One Events is back in the cross hairs of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) of Minnesota and North Dakota.
First criticized by the BBB in 2009, the work-at-home company currently gets an "F" grade for "making clear promises of easy wealth, but offering scant details of how potential subscribers actually make money," said Dana Badgerow, the BBB's chapter president and CEO.
"We dispute their claims and feel the only way anyone could make any money by signing up with them is by recruiting people to buy these training programs," Badgerow said. "Ultimately there is no end product or service for consumers."
Company owner Dan Miller couldn't be reached on Tuesday but told Whistleblower in 2009 that the business isn't a scam.
