Well I certainly was hoping the FBI had tabs on Charles Fuentes from the get go - as soon as he showed up as part of the financing deal with Smokefree.
Proof that zebras don't change their stripes!!!
"SFIO - a rehashed replayed repumped piece of garbage. There have been at least 3 other pennystocks this SAME underlying company has been/is involved with in the past.
Nothing but a bunch of scammmers using other scammers to scam investors.
Yes they have a product - yes they have a Patent (although the inventor listed has changed at least 3 times) - yes they have a garage they are selling out of in Dana Point (email to shareholder said they are just about to move to a warehouse though) - but I believe they have a hell of of alot of shares they are selling as well!!!

And now SFIO has the involvement of previous litigated criminals - The Fuentes - Charles, Ken and Eric
Yes is was a few years back - but given what's happening with this company - I think it is safe to say Zebras don't change their stripes!!!!

Not trying to get something started, just understand the big picture better. My order (#446) was shipped last night and I received an e-mail (with tracking number) from ericfuentes@cox.net of Alternative Smokefree Products, LLC. and my credit card charged by SMOKE REAL 7022778426 NV.
Edit - it's being shipped from ANAHEIM, CA 92899

How many layers this onion have and why an e-mail from an internet provider and not 'shipping@smokereal.com' or something like that?"

Involved in the financing as well:
In its materials, the company says, "Now that the R & D has been completed, SFI is seeking $8,000,000 during 2009 to launch the manufacturing and first phase marketing with the first tranche of $2,500,000 in the second quarter followed by $5,500,000 in the third quarter. Another $8,000,000 is requested for 2010 to support the second phase marketing program."
Continuing, the SFI information explains, "An investment banker, Kings Pointe Capital, Inc, located in California has been hired to raise the required funds by merging SFI into a public shell and obtaining the investment capital through the selling of public stock under a private placement program. Kings Pointe, working with Dallas Jones Associates, has the funding commitment from their investment sources once SFI is a public company, which is planned to be accomplished by the end of 2008."
No update of progress toward those goals has been provided by SFI. Two years ago, the two executives told a reporter they hoped to raise $20 million in capital for the venture, and had themselves, to that point, invested a total of about $700,000 in the business.

ParaFin Corporation Signs Agreement for the North American Distribution Rights to the World's First "Smokeless Cigarette"
2008-02-29 13:20 ET - News Release
This item is part of Stockwatch's value added news feed and is only available to Stockwatch subscribers.
Here is a sample of this item:
PALM SPRINGS, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/29/08
ParaFin Corporation (ParaFin) (PINKSHEETS: PFNO): the Board of Directors of ParaFin today announced having signed an exclusive Agreement for the North American distribution rights to the world's first "smokeless cigarette." The agreement is between ParaFin and Rauchless Inc. (Rauchless) of Nashville, TN.
Rauchless, which means "smokeless" in German, has developed a complete smoke free device, identical in appearance to a cigarette, that gives smokers the same oral sensation of smoking a cigarette without the harmful effects of burned tobacco and of generating second hand smoke. PFNO's President commented: "Rauchless were the first to acknowledge exactly what a smoker wants to feel, taste and experience, without becoming a pariah on a flight, in restaurants and at the workplace."

Shame on everyone of the promoters for aiding and abetting these guys - hope it's not much longer before they get a taste of the FBI/SEC. and continue to do so!
