I looked in on these folks and it the site was registered via Godaddy in December and the BBB has nothing on them yet. I realize that most of us would discard something like this quickly, but it seems that they are targeting small business owners and managers rather than the IT folks. Just wanted to give an FYI.

good catch, thx for the heads up.

Sometimes it takes time for the BBB to showcase companies on their site.
Of course, becoming a member would expedite that quicker.

pls send me mention awarded letter.
