We have received numerous emails from this organization informing our business that we have "won" an excellence award in our industry for Columbus. Their business model is to send emails out to everyone in an industry and try and get one to buy into their scam. At that time, the "winner" can pay to have the awards sent to them and they are given a press release. The award has absolutely no merit and is a scam to have any business appear to be reputable. There is one specific local business in our industry that has terrible reviews, ratings and reputation, but they have been the "winner" of this award for several years. Companies such as this only confuse legitimate customers and a quick search shows that this "award" organization has had numerous complaints filed against it over time. Please let me know if you need additional information. Here is the link they sent to us: http://www.smallbusinessexcellence.org/press-release/?aid=6W0F8L8P5R and http://www.smallbusinessexcellence.org/about-your-award
