The Amazing Business Model of GiveOpp

the amazing business model of giveopp

The creator of GiveOpp Don Glanville has been instrumental in starting all the initial excitement and buzz around the wonderful business opportunity that GiveOpp provides. This is one of the best things one has heard about in business for some time as it combines individual profit and also the greater good of the world by supporting global projects.

The amazing thing about GiveOpp is that it is one of only couple of companies that have a 5 star review. Although Glanville, the creator of Quicklister system for Liberty league International and also of Reverse Funnel System that launched Global Resorts Network virtually out of nowhere, gets the initial excitement.

The new marketing system involved this time is the Networking Management which will be quite a new concept to many companies although one can be assured that this too will grow into the same popularity as the Reverse Funnel System that has been imitated by others too.

Home business opportunities can now be expected to receive another shot in the arm with the launching of this innovative concept. The industry sits up and looks at anything he is involved in but this time it is doubly so because of the whole idea of GiveOpp.

FTC Starts To Sue Acai Berry Sellers In Long-Awaiting Action

ftc starts to sue acai berry sellers in long awaiting action

acai berry, especially in freeze dried form, is considered the world’s number one nutritious fruit due to its abundance of antioxidants and fiber. What is so remarkable about this tiny purple fruit that grows in the Amazon? People have been making claims and studies have shown it slows down the aging process.

It increases metabolism, sex drive and overall energy levels. Health wise, it prevents heart disease and diabetes by lowering glucose. It also protects against obesity by increasing metabolism and reducing appetite. Many products for Acai capsules are on the market these days, so it is of little wonder some products are not what they claim to be. Fillers have been used as well as fruit juice other than the acai berry. The purity is known by color, smell and taste. When in doubt send it back.

Judge issues injunction against Acai Berry seller to halt all 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 scamsCentral 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.

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:
