The main thing TSCH sells on is being one of the few companies endorsed by the BBB. I don't think the BBB means much to younger generations, but people my dad's age have faith in its imprimatur. Since the elderly demographic is TSCH's target this work out well for them, and I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Kelso is buddies with a higher up in the KY-BBB.
BBB is actually just a "paid membership club" itself, with absolutely no legal authority or horsepower whatsoever. BBB accepts as a member any business entity willing to pony up the requisite fees.
I would venture to guess that members of your (and my) respective late Dads' generation believe (incorrectly) that BBB has some sort of governmental affiliation. The fact of the matter is that BBB has absolutely no such affiliation, despite the inclusion of the word "Bureau" in their name.
If you want to file a formal complaint with an entity that actually possesses some legal authority, gravitas and horsepower, I respectfully suggest doing so with the Kentucky Attorney General. Following are contact details and options, which I hope and believe are still current and accurate:

In my opinion, these TSCH parasites need and deserve to have a focused spotlight shining very brightly on their deceitful and opportunistic "business practices". Good luck.
