(Q13FOX) – The Washington Attorney General and Better Business Bureau are investigating a COVID-19 testing company that is being inundated with negative reviews and complaints. The Center for Covid Control operates sites nationwide, including in Washington and Oregon.

Some of the complaints on the BBB’s website accuse the company of scamming customers. Many of them say they’ve not received test results.

In Seattle’s International District, the words “FAKE TESTS” were spray-painted on the outside of a pop-up “Center for Covid Control” testing site. It’s just one of nearly a dozen testing sites in Washington state and 300 in the country operated by the Illinois-based company.
