Beachbody Buyer Beware

CLINTON TOWNSHIP: Man charged in counterfeit DVD case

A Clinton Township man is scheduled for a preliminary hearing June 17 on charges that he counterfeited a video workout DVD set that retails for about $120 and sold it on Craigslist for less than half that price.

Salvatore Joseph Finazzo, 48, is charged with two counts of copying audio-video recording for gain and one count of using a computer to commit a crime, township police Capt. Rich Maierle said. Finazzo was released after paying 10% of a $7,500 bond, authorities said.

Maierle said Finazzo was counterfeiting P90X workout sets, selling them and delivering them to buyers. Police said they arrested him after setting up an undercover buy. They found other sets in Finazzo's Jeep Wrangler and found equipment to copy the videos during a search of his house, Maierle said.

Folks, PLEASE be sure to only purchase Beachbody products from Beachbody coaches. As coaches, we are familiar with the products and do much more than sell them. We COACH you through them. If you buy them via Craig's List or other "outlets," you may be missing very important pieces of the program. The guides that come with them are like GOLD and so important. You will short-change yourself in the long run. It's not worth it.
