One easy way to tell if a business is legit or not is to check its website. If you see a Better Business Bureau logo prominently displayed front and center, be careful. In today's online world, a reputable business doesn't need the backing or endorsement of the BBB. They have Yelp! for that. It's the ones who do need that BBB seal of approval that you should watch out for.
I bring this up because of the guy pictured above. His name is Rick Brinkley. He's a state senator from Owasso and the former CEO of the Eastern Oklahoma Better Business Bureau. I guess you can say Rick is your typical Oklahoma politician. He loves guns, worships Jesus and is being investigated by the OSBI on allegations he embezzled funds from his employer.
