The BBB is not a government agency.

(From their site:

Where does the BBB get its operating funds?
BBBs are organized as nonprofit corporations and financed by membership dues or subscriptions paid by responsible business and professional firms in the community. Reputable firms are solicited for membership to maintain and expand services provided by the BBB. )



I'm not saying that people can't be 'bought' but I wouldn't think it was widespread.
