Both have been effective at going after similar scammers operating out of their states.
For example, see this action by Texas Attorney General against Momentum Direct, running a similar scam.

Momentum Direct failed to cancel orders, withdrew unauthorized funds from bank accounts
HOUSTON – Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott today resolved the state’s enforcement action against online weight loss and skin care products retailer, Momentum Direct, L.L.C. Last September, the state charged the defendant with unlawfully shipping unsolicited products to customers, failing to cancel customers’ orders and debiting customers’ bank accounts without their permission. Under today’s agreement, Momentum Direct and its owners will pay $150,000 in restitution and remain subject to an injunction that prohibits similar unlawful conduct in the future.
