Everyone who has any awareness about acai berry knows that trends come and go.  The market is flooded with things that are the rage today but will be gone tomorrow.

Such is not the case with Acai pills because the health benefits of this product has proven itself to be something that will be around for many decades to come.  The people who have found these remarkable products know that there is a definite change in the health of the body when the supplements are taken and used consistently.  There is no good to be found in starting and then stopping once it is known.

US District judge order CCN to stop ALL acai berry internet operations

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 Acai Berry Free Trial scams, Central 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 record fine against an acai berry distributor. 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.

Club sea breeze offers two products to help individuals and families enjoy a vacation and offer the potential to earn an income through multilevel marketing. The company, owned and managed by Kelly Williams and his family, offers a Club Seabreeze Travel Club Membership and Club Seabreeze Money Manager. For a one time investment of $397, members can have access to over 5,000 vacation properties globally. The company guarantees no blackout days and memberships that can be passed on to children and grandchildren. The savings are good since vacation properties can be bought for as little as $299 and does not exceed $950 for a week’s stay, but the home based business part of it is not so impressive.

The Club Seabreeze Money Manager, financial software developed in partnership with the Financial Wellness Group. The program helps individuals to plan, evaluate, and assess their income and expenses in order to plan and manage their money prudently. The Money Manager is available at a monthly fee of $19.97. But there are much better and cheaper solutions to such problems already available in the current market. Families can allegedly benefit from using both products in order to improve their lifestyle by managing their capital, but do they actually need it? Only a very few can make a success of this though a lot of hard work, and not many will have the potential to become financially independent in the long term.
