FTC Lawsuit Investigates Acai Berry Trader Practices

Annie on Aug 19th 2010

A person might not think that taking a pill can change their life to the point that other people might not recognize them at the end of the month.

That can be the case with pills because the person will gain a new confidence that will reveal itself in the way a person acts so that others will see it and know something has happened to them. They will first feel it in themselves  when they begin to drop the extra weight they have been carrying and then the toxins they have been carrying will also begin to leave their body.

More than a year after the US attorney general issued a $1.37 million dollar fine against Central Coast Nutraceuticals (CCN) for deceptive business practices that didn’t have much effect, it looks like CCN will finally be shut down. The FTC followed up and convinced a US district judge to issue the injunction against CCN, which effectively halts ALL their operations

After listening to consumers complaints for 2 years now, the FTC has taken action again. They convinced a US federal district judge to issue an injunction against one of the biggest companies behind the www.acaiberrysite.comCentral Coast Nutraceuticals (CCN), effectively halting all their internet operations and freezing their bank accounts.

Its about time! Yes, the FTC is a government bureaucracy, so moves very slowly. They’ve been inundated with complaints from tens of thousands of irate consumers now, with estimates of over a MILLION victims of these scams. To be fair, they did make a case A YEAR ago against a Texas man who was a force behind these schemes in the early days. He quit the business and was fined a few thousand dollars – about what you pay for a big traffic ticket!

Here’s the strange part of the big fuss they are making about this single case - The US attorney general made a big fuss in June 2009 about a www.acaiberrysite.com. Guess who it was? CCN! With hundreds of websites and dozens of companies pushing these scams all over the internet, the FTC makes a big deal about a court decision to stop the SAME COMPANY that the US attorney general supposedly shut down OVER A YEAR AGO! Please forgive my cynical nature, but it sounds like the different government agencies are fighting for credit over the same case. Either that, or the $1.37 million fine last year didn’t convince CCN to stop. In which case, why didn’t the US Attorney general do more LAST YEAR?

Ok, enough with being cynical. It sounds like CCN is finally being shut down. Lets hope the FTC keeps the pressure up and pursues more cases to shut down the rest of the scumbags.

If you have been a victim by one of these acai berry scams and would like to file a complaint and perhaps get a judgement against the people behind it all, contact:

What is Club Sea Breeze is All About?

Sam on Aug 6th 2010

Kelly Williams, CEO of club sea breeze and inexperienced network marketer, recently launched a unique travel product. This seems the ideal home based business, but in fact it needs a lot of effort. It doesn’t matter how young or old you are, the potential of earning a residual income is there if you ready to put hard work—and you will need to put in a lot of hard work.

Along with the opportunity to sell lifetime travel memberships, Club Sea Breeze offers a money management tool to assist members create funds for a vacation, plus an associate compensation plan. Mr. Williams is a former financial planner and understands the need of families to generate a significant income with the right knowledge and planning, but a travel plan along with a money management tool are not exactly complimentary products.

Members have a chance to earn thousands of dollars through its revolutionary 2×2 revolving matrix. Each member has the potential to earn $500 time and again with each cycle through the matrix, which is paid weekly, but reaching this level is prohibitively difficult. If you are thinking about a successful home based business, then this may be the right one for you if you are willing to work all the hours under the sun.
