Admin,

I work as a legal executive at a large law firm and my boss has been considering putting together a class action against these companies.
How many consumers have been defrauded from these schemes (weight loss, whitening) in the last 2 years in your opinion?
Also the public assume these companies have generated millions, however if you refer to the case of FTC vs Infusion M edia, Inc (google money tree, treasure chest), they were fined $7 million+ but they showed funds of $600,000 and thus paid only that amount.
In your opinion have the acai berry companies been more successful and roughly how much has been generated?

I’ve just noticed all these acai ads appearing on our site and have scheduled them to be stopped, the problem with advertiser companies is that they’re probably aware that these ads are scams and yet continue to run them because the advertiser spends big bucks, and they’re not going to turn that big spend away are they?

Good! It’s a real mess once your credit card is billed and rebilled even after you’ve asked for a company to stop. I’ve had that happen to me more than once! It takes a long time to get it straightened out and a lot of time, energy, and inconvenience in telephone calls, writing letters to various agencies, reporting the fraud to the card company and/or banks and to the proper law enforcement authorities, sometimes even having to close bank and card accounts in order to finally get the perpetrator’s “monkey off your back.”

This is absolutely wonderful!

Marie, anytime you make unsubstantiated health claims like most flogs do you could be in trouble. The FTC is also cracking down on testimonials claiming excessive or beyond ordinary results too.

Hi, do you think that flogs as whole will come under scrutiny? I still see a lot of these flogs for niches like anti aging, wrinkle creams, work from home etc etc…

Or would it just be focused on Acai?

Ouch.

If it were me, I would. But not just due to the heat, I’d pull it knowing the product does not work and the re-billing is oftentimes deceptive.
