Pattern of Complaints

BBB files indicate a pattern of complaints concerning marketing and billing practices of SBC Worldwide LLC, also known as Strategic Business Communications. Multiple business owners are telling BBB that SBC Worldwide is sending them invoices requesting payment for a directory listing that was not authorized. These complainants allege that the invoice reads that the order for the directory listing was placed by the company CEO or a senior level manager; however, a majority of businesses were reportedly never in contact with SBC Worldwide prior to receiving the payment invoice.
