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

Federal, 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 â€" sharing information, partnering resources, and coordinating our efforts â€" 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.
