That’s customers who hire for services, but then do not pay their bill.

The BusinessWeek writer, Rebecca Reisner, details the story of Robert Bodi who has worked all of his professional life to provide quality services to his customers. However, like most of us, Robert became sick and tired of dealing with dishonest & difficult individuals who won’t pay their bill!

With the help of his daughter, Robert created BusinessBeware.biz, a database of contractor experiences in trying to work with deadbeat clients. “Bad clients” are named, and prospective biz_logocontractors can check the database to see if a particular individual has a history of defaulting on payment. Pretty useful in my opinion.

Both humorous and educational, another business owner harnessing the power of the internet … in a practical, yet unexpected way. Cool use of the .BIZ (Business) web address.

Fact: –> .BIZ broke the two million worldwide registrations mark in June, 2008.
