The document summarizes various marketing campaigns conducted by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to promote BBB Accredited Businesses. It mentions radio spots, bus advertisements, billboards, print ads, and social media promotions highlighting accredited businesses. It also announces an upcoming event hosted by the BBB called the "Celebration of Integrity" which will honor business leaders for their ethical practices and feature comments from the FBI about cybersecurity threats. Finally, it provides statistics about the BBB's activities and services from January to September 2014.
The document is a newsletter from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) serving Greater Cleveland that provides information on scams, business reviews and accredited businesses. It summarizes a scam offering 6-day vacations for $119 that many consumers did not receive after paying additional fees.

Three local "fun run" races abruptly canceled their events in late July, leaving many participants without refunds of their registration fees. A mud run in Ohio and foam run in the same location in Ohio, organized by two different out-of-state companies, canceled just before their scheduled dates. A third run in California organized by the same company that canceled the Ohio foam run also ceased operations without providing refunds to participants who paid registration fees ranging from $45-75. The organizers of all three canceled races have poor BBB ratings or have been the subject of many complaints from unsatisfied customers.
