Warning! Acai Berry Scam Alert!

By Caitlin Ryan

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.

Imagine their surprise when they are charged on their credit card for more acai berry before they have even finished the free trial! Often, the charge appears long before they receive more supplements, and sometimes, the shipment never arrives.

It gets worse! Some of the acai berry scam companies make it so difficult to cancel the auto shipment that people spend month after month battling the company before the charges discontinue. They sometimes want their free trial back (which has usually been used) in order to get a reimbursement for the unwanted auto shipments.

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?

Read, read, and read! We tend to skip over all of those minor details when we place orders or sign up for something. You truly do have to read the fine print, and even then, you may be at risk. Make a phone call to the company and verify that you are only signing up for a free trial and paying shipping. Ask them more than once and get a name of the person.

It is pretty easy to tell a fraudulent company if there is not even a phone number or if you call and you are put on hold forever and ever! This type of acai berry supplement company is just too risky!

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!

Acai berries are loaded with antioxidants which can help fight off illness and disease. The benefits of acai berries certainly outweigh the risks as long as you pay close attention to the acai supplement company and do your homework! - 17268
