Terry Goddard’s Acai Crusade: A Modern Day Robin Hood?
Posted in Acai Berry on 07/24/2009 03:24 pm by AdminTerry Goddard – Arizona Attorney General – as a victory on behalf of the people. The victory was against shady Acai dealers Central Coast Nutraceuticals, and should hopefully put a stop to the business practices that threatened to bring down the entire Acai industry.
CCN’s business model appeared to rely on scamming potential customers by offering them ‘free trials’ of Acai berry and other health products. This free trial quickly turned into a paid subscription, and customers were unable to cancel the charges. In addition, CCN were sending out products not ordered by customers and charging for these too.
All in all, CCN’s conduct towards customers was actively deceptive. Part of the settlement requires that CCN does not continue with these deceptive sales and advertising practices. The financial part of the settlement – a fine of $1,375,000 – hits CCN where it hurts. Whether the fine is large enough or not is a matter for further discussion, but at least it is several steps in the right direction. Hopefully this will instill some fear into those carrying on with similar business models. Rogue practices like this bring problems to the entire industry, and do a lot to harm legitimate www.acaiberrysite.com and Acai health and diet food distributors.
If you want to be considered for a proportion of the $350,000 that has been set aside customer restitution, then you should file a complaint to the Arizona attorney general’s office by August 17, 2009. Customers are unlikely to receive all monies lost, but of course every little helps.
Gearing Up For New Diet Plan Through Acai
I have fallen completely head over heals for this new acai diet that my sister got me hooked on. She was having a very hard time loosing weight until she got a hold of this acai information that she shared with me. Now I am on the diet that she started almost 6 months ago. She has already lost 25 pounds and feels the best she has felt in over 20 years. I am already loosing weight and see the major difference in everything form energy to stamina. I could not imagine my life without this diet and know that the best is yet to come.
Loosing that Last 5 Pounds
Once again my New Years resolution is to finally lose that last 15 pounds. I’ve been doing my part eating right and going to the gym. I’ve already lost 10 pounds, but it’s the last 5 pounds that doesn’t seem to want to leave. I’ve tried just about everything. Then a friend of mine told me about acai berry pure juice. She started drinking acai berry juice and has managed to drop 10 pounds in the last 6 weeks. The antioxidants in each berry help set you body back on track, by flush out your internal systems. The by product of this is weight loss.
