Warning! Acai Berry Scam Alert!


Not another one! I was really troubled by the news that there are more supplement scams! Greedy supplement companies are tarnishing the reputation of the beautiful acai berry in a similar manner to the wu yi tea scam.

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!

This is how the acai berry scam works. The acai berry supplement company offers a free trial with only the cost of shipping. Then, they use your credit card to charge future shipments because you inadvertently signed up for these auto-shipments when you agreed to receive the free trial. The information was probably there, but in fine print.

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!

Worse yet is the fact that when they realized what happened, they tried to cancel the auto shipments and get a reimbursement for the charges and the acai berry company placed them on hold forever and made it very difficult to cancel. A few of the companies even asked for the free acai berry supplements to be returned before they would reimburse the credit card charge. Of course, many of the customers had already used their free trial.

You could stay clear of the free trial offer, but that would eliminate acai berry companies that truly are good companies who are using an age-old marketing tactic that allows you to try before you buy. There are easy ways to spot 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 you cannot reach anyone at the acai berry company in a reasonable time or there is not even a phone number, chances are the company is fraudulent and you have saved yourself from being scammed. Calling is a simple thing to do, so do not take any chances!

Until the scam has run its course, stick with reputable sites such as Amazon or sites that have been backed by the Better Business Bureau or another reputable consumer agency. What you do not want to do is miss out on acai berry supplements to improve your health!

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.
