SCAM ALERTS
Just click Central Coast Nutraceuticals – SCAMMERS! to read what happened to us! There are many more on the net who have made pages about this company! LET’S PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS!
Proof is in the pudding. We can hope all owners of this company are knocked down to the annual income level of the folks they are ripping off. But, we know that won’t happen. They will just continue to take money from low income folks like us with disregard to morals. And guess what, people like that don’t care. Even if the company is put out of business, the founders will just start another with the same moral standards.
The company attorney even contacted us directly in attempt to play down the incident. Facts are facts. We returned the product immediately, exactly to their procedure and were still charged QUITE A LONG TIME (~2 weeks) AFTER THE RETURN WAS RECEIVED PROCESSED! WE HAVE PROOF OF DELIVERY! Play that down.

We did, after time, receive a refund and compensation for our insufficient funds charges caused by the blatantly poor business practices. However, THIS WAS VERY DIFFICULT and was only achieved by going through the state attorneys office! CCN initially and passionately refused to refund our money / compensate us for our losses due to their practices. We had to resort to legal means. That is not the type of company that should be allowed to stay in business.
Our time is also valuable. The lesson here, not so much.
Guarantee: When you purchase a new product that has a guarantee, you should be able to assume there are procedures in place to enforce/process the guarantee. I have yet to encounter feasible explanation of why SO MANY PEOPLE had their accounts charged while remaining well within the guidelines of the guarantees policies. What adds even more to the mix? When these companies actually insinuate the guarantee is an “added value”. I assume they practice this in their marketing to transmit a sense of security to consumers.
Principles: Come on guys.. When you purchase a new product through any distributor, you should not have to worry about going through the scenarios all of these people endured. Additionally, the business practices that were encountered here, can hurt ALL BUSINESSES.
Just google “central coast nutraceuticals”. This company will never be able to save face.
They are probably doing business under another name already so, beware!
So, there actually is a lesson. Our Lesson: Due to this experience, we will never buy vitamins / supplements on line ever again.
A lesson for all: RESEARCH a company, distributor or product BEFORE you buy!

Notice, on 02/05/2010 the rest of this post was deleted. The information there was supplied by one of our members and seemingly could cause harm to our family via legal ramifications. We were contacted by a CCN lawyer and basically, told to remove it or … well insinuations were ablaze. Even though you cannot get blood from a stone, we just don’t need the hassle in our lives. Time with our family is the only “balance” in our account anyhow. We have however, due to the fact of how much this issue has impacted our lives, time and even sleep, considered approaching an Attorney about our legal rights and all that is transpiring here. Any Attorney that thinks he can help, fee contingent, please use my contact form.
