Look Out! Another Acai Berry Scam!

By Caitlin Ryan

When I found out about yet another acai berry scam, I was extremely disappointed! I really do not like the fact that some greedy supplement companies would risk ruining the reputation of such a wonderful supplement such as the acai berry just to make money!

With the state of the economy, our dollars have become even more important to us. We work hard, and though we want to do what we can to improve our health and avoid expensive doctor bills, we cannot afford to be scammed! How can you benefit from acai berry supplements without risking this? Make sure you are aware!

The acai berry scam works similarly to the wu yi tea scam. A person is lured in by a free trial offer with only shipping charges to be charged to their credit card. Who does not want something for free? Of course, it is not and the person has just signed up for an auto shipment program!

Next, they receive charges on their credit card for acai berry supplements that have yet to arrive. Some of the acai berry scams are not even shipping anything, just charging for more supplements!

The biggest problem arrives when the person tries to call and cancel the auto shipments and receive a reimbursement. Often times, they are placed on hold forever only to be told that they will not receive a credit unless they send back the free acai berry trial. There is little they can do and many report that the acai berry companies continue to charge their credit card until the customer gives up and cancels their credit card.

A rule of thumb would be to avoid free trials; however, there may be some free trial companies who are honest and who really do want to prove their product to you through a free trial. So, how do you tell the difference?

Make sure you do two things: Read all the fine print and call the company to verify that you will not be receiving any future charges past the shipping charges. Make sure you get the name of the acai berry representative when you call.

If there is no phone number, or if you are put on hold for a lengthy time to get a simple answer, the company is more than likely fraudulent!

For now, you may want to stick with reputable companies such as Amazon or sites that have some sort of merchant seal such as the Better Business Bureau. Just do not let the acai berry scams scare you away from using this wonderful supplement.

The acai berry supplements are very beneficial to your overall health with their high concentration of antioxidants. They can prevent disease, improve your energy levels and prevent premature aging. - 17269
