<p>Wow–what a horrible story. I’m sorry you had this experience</p>
<p>The BBB website shows only one complaint for this firm and says it was “resolved” with BBB assistance, so it appears your complaint just evaporated. That’s disturbing, though I have to say I don’t believe anyone should put any stock in BBB ratings. The organization exists for the benefit of its members, not consumers.</p>
<p>I think the best way to stop them is to make your high school’s guidance department aware of your experience so they can warn people away. Use of social media is another option, though you have to tread carefully.</p>
<p>I’m curious to know what credentials/experience Farmer had and whether you sought the opinions of former clients before signing up.</p>
