Re: PowerGum
Dear Mrs. Turner,
We regret that you are not satisfied with the products and service of
DreamLife Products. Management is very grieved and disappointed that
you have chosen to call Brent Holland a liar and his company fraudulent.
Brent Holland has been in business for approximately 14 years in the
state of Louisiana. He is not a liar and his company is not fraudulent.
We have thousands of witnesses to attest to that. DreamLife ships
products that are ordered and paid for, and pays all commissions earned
and has been doing so for approximately 14 years in America and many
countries overseas. And, DreamLife is currently Licensed and Bonded in
the state of Louisiana and has met with the Attorney General’s office
along with his attorneys in the past and made sure that the Attorney
General’s office was pleased with his company.
However, Brent Holland liquidated personal assets and spent personal
money to launch PowerGum and as with a large portion of America, he has
experienced some cash flow problems that caused him to fall behind on
his personal house note which he has owned for more than 10 years.
First Guaranty Bank bought his house back because of foreclosure and
since then, Brent Holland and First Guaranty Bank have worked out all
loan issues and he will not be losing his home. During the
“foreclosure period”, because of Brent Holland’s past history and
creditability with the bank, he was never asked to leave his home.
Moreover, just because someone goes through personal financial
difficulties, it does not make them a liar nor fraudulent.
We feel that we have a very fair refund policy. We do not refund money
spent by a distributor advertising our products. And we require unused
products to be sent back and then we refund money for unused product.
And for the record, we offered to give you a refund last week for unused
product, but, you decided to remain a distributor. At this time, we
are willing to waive all fees and refund you every returned unopened
PowerGum tube that you purchased from DreamLife plus your website fee of
$40. Please ship immediately to: DreamLife 18120 Hosmer Mill Rd
Covington, LA. All money will be refunded once received at our
facility.
Because you called Brent Holland a liar and DreamLife Products
fraudulent, and issued verbal and written threats to slander our company
and CEO, management has decided to deliver all correspondence to the
Attorneys office. And, are strongly considering filing a lawsuit
against you personally. This will cause you unnecessary financial grief
for many months and years to come. This is not a threat, this is
preparing you for legal action if you deliver any more negative
information about Brent Holland or DreamLife. We recommend that you
overnight the products you purchased back to the before mentioned
address and except this refund and disconnect yourself from this company
and all its’ distributors immediately. We respectfully ask that you
give this letter special attention as it is very serious and time
sensitive. Please respond carefully, upper management and law firm may
read and file your response for future use in litigation against you.
Respectfully,
DreamLife, LLC Management

http://allamericanpatriots.com/node/17343Federal, Louisiana State Law Enforcers Complete Bogus Business Opportunity Sweep
December 13, 2006 -- (Baton Rouge, LA) Louisiana Attorney General Charles C. Foti, Jr., today announced Project FAL$E HOPE$, a federal and state law
enforcement sweep targeting bogus business opportunities and
work-at-home scams. The crackdown includes more than 100 law enforcement
actions by the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice, the
United States Postal Inspection Service, and law enforcement agencies in 11 states, including Louisiana.
“I want to take this opportunity to remind all those who wish to
operate business opportunities that they must register with our office
and post a surety bond. To provide business opportunities to Louisiana
consumers without properly registering and obtaining a bond is an unfair
trade practice and can be prosecuted under the Louisiana Unfair Trade
Practices and Consumer Protection Law,†Attorney General Foti
stated.“Bogus business opportunities trample on Americans’ dreams of
financial independence,†said FTC Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras.
“If a business opportunity
promises no risk, little effort, and big profits, it almost certainly
is a scam. These scams offer only a money pit, where no matter how much
time and money is invested, consumers never achieve the riches and
financial freedom promised. â€
“When the states and the federal government, civil and criminal
enforcers, all work together – sharing information, partnering
resources, and coordinating our efforts – we can make very significant
progress against these unlawful businesses,â€
said Peter D. Keisler, Assistant Attorney General for the Justice
Department's Civil Division. He went on to describe 23 fraud convictions
obtained in 2006, and the sentencing of 23 defendants to a total of
over 150 years' imprisonment for causing over $86,000,000 in consumer
loss.
Project FAL$E HOPE$ includes new cases announced today, developments
in existing cases, criminal convictions, and state actions, as well as
new education materials for advertising sales staff on screening ads for bogus business opportunities.
As part of the sweep, Attorney General Foti announced that his office
has filed suit against Brent Holland and Dreamlife, L.L.C. d/b/a Power
Plus MPG and DreamLife Products. The Attorney General’s Office alleges
that Dreamlife, L.L.C. has operated an illegal business opportunity in
the marketing
and selling of Power Plus MPG distributorships. The company, operating
out of St. Tammany Parish, sell kits to people who wish to start
distributorships of PowerPlus MPG products. The product that is included
in the kits are pills, powders or liquids that are advertised to
increase vehicle gas mileage. The Attorney General’s Office alleges
that the products may not work as advertised and may be harmful to
engines. By providing a business opportunity to Louisiana consumers
without complying with specific provisions of the Louisiana Unfair Trade
Practices and Consumer Protection Law, Dreamlife, L.L.C., PowerPlus MPG
and Brent Holland have allegedly committed unfair trade practices.
Specifically, Dreamlife, L.L.C. failed to register it’s business
opportunity with the Attorney General’s office and post seller’s and
agent’s surety bonds with the Attorney General’s office.
The Attorney General’s Office has received a temporary restraining
order against Brent Holland and Dreamlife, L.L.C. d/b/a Power Plus MPG
and DreamLife Products. A hearing for a preliminary injunction is
scheduled.
The Federal Trade Commission announced nine new cases, and three new
referrals to DOJ for filing, as well as developments in another 13
cases. DOJ also obtained numerous criminal convictions as part of the
sweep, putting business opportunity scammers behind bars. In the past
year, USPIS was active against business opportunity scams perpetrated
through the mail, obtaining cease and desist orders, restitution, and
other remedies.
State law enforcement actions were announced by the Arizona Attorney
General’s Office; California Attorney General’s Office; California
Department of Corporations; Connecticut Department of Banking,
Securities and Investments Division; Florida Department of Agriculture
& Consumer Services; Indiana Attorney General’s Office; Kentucky
Attorney General’s Office; Louisiana Attorney General’s Office;
Maryland Attorney General’s Office, Securities Division; Texas
Attorney General’s Office; Washington State Department of Financial
Institutions, Securities Division; and Wisconsin Department of Financial
Institutions. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and
Consumer Protection also personally warned consumers to beware of bogus
business opportunities.
A new guidance for publishers offers them help to screen out
deceptive ads for business opportunities. The alert, “Ads for Business
Opportunities: How to Detect Deception,†suggests advertising sales
staff to give an extra look at ads that make claims such as:
“No risk! Guaranteed†“Quick and Easy!†“Earn $2,000 a month.â€
The alert warns that legitimate business ventures involve risks,
start-up businesses require a lot of work to get off the ground, and
that the law requires earnings claims in ads be accompanied by the
number and percentage of previous purchasers who achieved the income.
If you believe you are a victim of a business opportunity scam or
would like more information on business opportunities, please contact
the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Hotline at 1-800-351-4889.
