Shaklee Featured in Redbook Magazine

The July 2008 Redbook magazine features Shaklee in a “going green” article. The article is not able the Shaklee home business, but actually focused on one of the top selling Shaklee products.

Since Shaklee aired on Oprah many people have found the benefits of the company and the products. Last year Oprah gave her entire studio audience Shaklee Starter kits on her going green show and featured the products among her favorite things on last years holiday show.

What does this have to do with a Shaklee home business? ALOT! When big timers such as Oprah endorse or promote a product, people flock to check it out! When Shaklee aired on Oprah the responce was so amazing, the main selling kit was backordered!

The more publicity a company or product gets, the more people notice the company, which in turn means more sales from distributors. As product awareness grows distributor paychecks do as well!

If you have given any thought to a new home business, check out what Shaklee has to offer.

ITV Ventures Business Review… SCAM or LEGIT?

I have heard allot of talk about the ITV Ventures home business opportunity lately and wanted to shead some light on the business opportunity, from an outsider looking in. I am in no way affiliated with ITV Ventures at all.

If you are not familiar with the ITV Ventures business opportunity, it is basically a health product infomercial home based business lead by Donald Barrett. Mr. Barrett is also CEO/President of ITV Direct, a multi-million dollar infomercial company. The company also offers training materials recorded from Donald Barrett, Kevin Trudeau, and all the ITV Direct product line founders. Kevin Trudeau has also appeared on infomercials with Donald Barrett.

On September 11, 2006, Donald Barrett and ITV Direct announced that they had partnered with Trudeau. Trudeau also worked with ITV to create ITV Ventures, a new MLM group based out of ITV’s home office. As of December 2006, ITV Direct has pulled all information concerning both this partnership and Trudeau’s books from its corporate website; however, the infomercials have continued to run as of April 14th, 2008.Mr Barrett, has been involved in deceptive marketing practices in the past, which can be viewed here. Donald Barrett and Kevin Trudeau both have a long history of being professional con-men. You can find just a few of the claims made against the two men here from them Federal Trade Commission for just a few of their long list of infomercial scams.

ITV Ventures partner Kevnin Trudeau’s Background…

Trudeau is a convicted felon with criminal convictions in the early 1990s for fraud and larceny. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has sued him numerous times. A federal order currently restricts his ability to promote and sell any product or service.

In 1990, Trudeau posed as a doctor in order to deposit $80,000 in false checks, and in 1991 he pleaded guilty to larceny NS spent two years in federal prison. Trudeau had used the credit cards of eleven customers of the mega memory product to fraudulently charge approximately $122,735.68.

In 1996, Kevin Trudeau was accused of operating an illegal pyramid scheme. Kevnin and his partner settled with Illinois and seven other states for $185,000.

In 1998, Trudeau was fined $500,000 to be used for consumer redress by the FTC, relating to six infomercials he had produced and in which the FTC determined he had made false or misleading claims.

In September 2004, Trudeau agreed to pay $2 million ($500,000 in cash plus transfer of residential property located in California, and a luxury vehicle) to settle other charges

In 2007, The FTC has filed a contempt of court action against Trudeau yet again, alleging that Trudeau is in contempt of a 2004 court order by “deceptively claiming in his infomercials that the book being advertised establishes a weight-loss protocol that is ‘easy’ to follow.” Trudeau was found in contempt of the 2004 court order for “patently false” claims, yet again.

ITV Ventures CEO Donald Barrett’s Background…

In April 2004, Public Health Service sent Donald Barrett a letter about false or misleading claims being made on product bottles he was selling.

In June 2004, the FTC filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that Direct Marketing Concepts, Inc., ITV Direct, Inc., and their president, Donald W. Barrett had deceptively marketed products via infomercials.

In October 5, 2007, the FTC sued ITV Direct, Inc. and Donald Barrett for misrepresenting Kevin Trudeau’s “Weight-Loss Cure” book in the infomercial they produced to market it.

Now that we have been able to honestly say the founders of ITV Ventures are scammers and or con-men, what does that have to say about the ITV Ventures business opportunity? In my opinion, I would say far away from their so called business opportunity.

As with most other products by these two men, they are short sales that end in negative. ITV Ventures may offer a business opportunity for now, however I can not image these two men running a legit business since both have been in trouble numerous times for fraud claims.

Even though he ITV Ventures business sounds to good to be a scam, and it sounds like the perfect opportunity for some, I do not have much faith in a company which is lead by career criminals. Nor do I have much faith in products that are represented by a company led by men who have been in trouble many times for false claims and fraud.

I would highly recommend anything thinking about ITV Ventures as a home business, think twice. They may not have been proven a scam just yet, but I do not see this company having a strong future.

After reading that information, what do you think?
