Tehama Family Fitness Center 2498 South Main St. • 528-8656 www.tehamafamilyfitness.com 89 36th Annual Roundup of cons, frauds and schemes (MCT) — Here is a roundup of alleged cons, frauds and schemes to watch out for: DIETARY SUPPLEMENT As part of a crackdown on com- panies promoting bogus health claims, the Federal Trade Com- mission settled charges brought against three people and two companies for deceptively advertising a sup- posed weight-loss supplement ingredient. The settlement imposes a $22.5 million judgment against David J. Romeo and two New Jersey compa- nies he controlled, Nutraceuticals International and Stella Labs; the judgment will be suspended when Romeo forfeits a vacation home in Vermont and assigns to the FTC the right to collect on $635,000 in busi- ness loans owed to him, the agency said. The FTC also banned Nutraceu- ticals International principal Craig Payton from marketing any foods, drugs or dietary supplements. A $4 million judgment against Nutraceu- ticals International marketing exec- utive Deborah B. Vickery has been suspended because of her inability to pay, the FTC said. The marketers were part of a scheme that supplied manufacturers of weight-loss supplements with a substance they claimed was derived from a plant native to southern Africa known as hoodia. The individuals and the companies have been barred from making any more deceptive claims. ___ CHIMNEY SWEEPS With winter approaching, the Better Business Bureau is warning consumers to be careful about whom they hire to clean their chimneys. This year through October, the bureau has received more than 380 complaints from consumers who say they were scammed by chimney cleaners who did poor work _ or no work at all. That's an increase from 342 complaints during the same period last year. "Chimney sweeping is not some- thing that homeowners deal with often, so we may lack knowledge of the cleaning process," said Kather- ine Hutt, spokeswoman for the umbrella group Council of Better Business Bureaus. Hutt's group suggests consumers research chimney sweep companies on the Internet, find out how long they've been in business, whether they have liability insurance and Scam whether employees have been certi- fied by the nonprofit Chimney Safe- ty Institute of America. ___ STOLEN CREDIT CARDS Watch A Costa Mesa, Calif., man has been convicted of identity theft and other fed- eral crimes related to the theft of credit cards from Viet- namese immigrants living in South- ern California. A federal jury in Los Angeles convicted Hung Van Tieu, 62, of conspiracy, credit card fraud and identity theft. The charges carry a sentence of two to 32 years in fed- eral prison. Tieu was part of a team of con men who called credit card com- panies in 2010-11, impersonated customers and asked for new cards to be mailed to addresses on file. The team intercepted the cards from the mail and used them to run up more than $100,000 in purchases of luxury goods, including Rolex watches, and to withdraw thousands of dollars at Las Vegas casinos, including the Bellagio, Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand.

Fish and Game honors disabled veterans The California Depart- ment of Fish and Game (DFG) reminds veterans that service-related injuries need not keep them from enjoying wildlife and the great outdoors. America's disabled veterans get a break on the price of sport fishing and hunting licens- es and are provided some special opportunities. DFG offers reduced-fee hunting and fishing licens- es to both resident and nonresident disabled veter- ans. Any honorably dis- charged, disabled veteran with a 50 percent or greater service-connected disabili- ty who wants to hunt birds or mammals, or fish in Cal- ifornia is eligible. The 2011 Sport Fishing License (Reduced - Dis- abled Veteran) and Dis- abled Veteran Hunting License cost only $6.44 when purchased at DFG license counters. Special hunting blinds have been constructed to be accessible to people with mobility impairments at some state wildlife areas and ecological reserves, and at some National Wildlife Refuges. DFG also works with military installations on wildlife management and provides tags for those installations to issue to military personnel for deer and Tule elk hunting opportunities. "We recognize the ser- vice, commitment and sacrifice of our veterans, military members and their families by offering special hunting opportuni- ties when and where we can," said Charlton H. Bonham, Director of DFG. "Veterans, and especially disabled Amer- ican veterans, are all heroes who have accom- plished the remarkable, often during the worst of times.
