The Better Business Bureau has updated Strategia Marketing's report. It shows an
unsatisfactory record including all the DBA names it has operated under such as Suntasia, FTN Promotions and so on.
Interesting to note they have created yet another LLC known as "
Co-Compliance". Whatever that means. It even has an email address,
legal@co-compliance.com. I guess Bryan Wolf will keep creating companies until he runs out of names to call his unethical practices. Anyway, you can see the report for yourself below.
