Acai Berry Scams and How to Avoid them
Ever feel that every email you get these days is for another Acai Berry supplements that guarantees you will lose 30 pounds in a week?
What about the claims that Oprah and Dr. Oz use Acai as their secret weight loss weapon? To top it all off, most of these Acai emails
claim you can get their Acai supplement for free. Is it true or just an acai berry scam? This is what we will address in this article.
Are the Free Acai Supplements Really Free?
No. You will see many acai berry supplements that claim to offer a free trial. The way it works is that you enter your credit card to just
pay $3.95 for shipping and then you get a free trial of Acai. It all sounds like a good deal until you read the fine print hidden about 10
pages deep in their "Terms of Service". It turns out that by agreeing to the "free trial" you are also signing up to have an Acai supplement mailed
to you every 30 days and billed $60 - $90 a month. What about the free trial bottle you are getting? If you don't cancel within 14 days
you will be billed for that bottle as well!
Wow - it sounds like these acai berry free trial deals are a scam - right?
Some may call these free trial deals Acai Berry scams. Others will see them as maybe misleading but not scams. Our view is that
the terminology is not that important, what is important is that consumers know the facts so they can fairly compare Acai supplements.
On January 5, 2009 the Better Business Bureau (BBB) issued a warning to consumers about Acai companies that are using misleading
sales and marketing practices. The issue the BBB had was with the failure of these Acai "free trial" companies to fairly and accurately
display the fact that consumers will be billed a monthly fee and need to cancel their "membership" or they could face charges of over
$90 a month.

But what about the Acai supplements that are endorsed by Oprah and Dr. Oz?
While there are numerous sites claiming or implying that Oprah and/or Dr. Oz endorsed their Acai berry supplement - this is just not true.
Let's be very clear about this - Oprah and Dr. Oz have never endorsed or recommended any acai supplement.
It it true that Oprah, Dr. Oz and Dr. Perricone have had very positive things to say about the Acai berry supplement, they simply never
endorsed any Acai supplement. To learn the truth about what Oprah really said about Acai please view our video...

untrue weight loss claims. The "news site" is called Health News 7 or Health News 6 - the "reporter" is Julia Miller. It is all made up

What About Denise Randall, Health Reporter for US Medical Journal - is Her Acai Weight Loss Story True?
