Acai Berry Scams Are All Over The Internet
Written by Emily Hazzard on January 7, 2010 – 6:24 am -Acai berry scams have literally come up all over the internet. It seems like every website you visit is advertising one of these scams.
Because of how popular the scam has become I wanted to write this article just to inform everybody of what’s going on and how they can avoid being scammed.
The acai berry can be found deep inside the Amazon rain forest and it has helped the locals there for literally thousands of years to stay in shape. The berry came over to North America in the 80’s but due to how bitter the berry was it wasn’t widely accepted.
Once scientists were able to put all the nutrients from the berry into pill form though the berry literally took off. It seemed that no matter where you went people were talking about this berry and how much weight men and women alike were losing due to it.
Like all good things though some people had to try to ruin it. Some con men got together and decided to offer people free trials of the acai berry as long as they paid shipping and handling for it. The reason they did this was because when they paid shipping and handling the con men would get their credit card information and would be able to bill them every few weeks whether they wanted to continue or not.
Some con men saw this as an opportunity to make boat loads of money so they made websites offering free trials of the acai berry as long as the consumer paid shipping and handling. Once the consumer paid with their credit card they were foreced into a billing sequence where they would be billed every two weeks.
Remember that acai itself is great – the way it’s promoted simply isn’t.
