In late 2008 Acai Berry is booming and some diet pills manufacturer see this opportunity and start to hit the market with their Acai Berry Product. At first there only a few product in the market but then in later year many product are in the market.

Acai Berry is awesome and many trusted source that believe Acai berry can help people lose weight but what troubling us is the way these company sell their acai berry, in couple month after the launch of the product we see the problem immediately. Here are the things that's bothering us...

1. Free Trial (but not really)

Acai berry offer you free trial and you just need to pay for shipping and handling cost which cost about $4. Surely many people would love to try this product because many media is discussing the health effect of Acai berry at the time and its free, what you got to lose right? Well the next thing you know they charge you $40 to $80. What people don't know is that the free trial has a time limit which is 14 days, and they (Acai Scammer) would say that they don't do anything wrong because they put the 14-days trial term and condition in their site. The term and condition is usually located in the bottom of the page with smaller font and really hard to see. We notice that it would take 9 days for the product from you order to reach you, that mean you only got 5 days to check whether it is a good product or not.

And that's not all, they charge you every month until you cancel the continuous order. When you want to cancel the order they would give really hard time to cancel it, some people say that the phone line would busy all the time and even if you are lucky to get someone to pick the phone they still will make you wait for about 45 to 75 minute. Nevertheless, you got to do it because if you don't you get charged every month. The other way to cancel the order is to cancel the credit card and make another one.

See the example of many angry people that is tricked by the acai product here: 1000+ complain recorded for this Acai product and 280+ complain recorded for this Acai product. These two products are the first to launch Acai berry in the market back at 2008 and right now there are still many Acai product that use free trial scam.

2. Fake Endorsement

Many of the Acai pill marketer use fake endorsement, they would claim that Acai has been seen in many media such as Oprah and Rachel Ray this isn't true. They never endorse nor make such claim, in fact Oprah was furious that her name was used to promote such a scammy product she filled law suit on 40 of the Acai marketer.

See what Oprah has to say about it: http://www.oprah.com/health/The-Truth-About-Oprah-Dr-Oz-Acai-Resveratrol-and-Colon-Cleanse

It's a shame that Oprah wasn't doing this much earlier, as you can see Oprah was making the move on august 2009 and that is 1 year after the product launched.

Final word

Even though Acai berry scam is old news but there are still some Acai product in the market right now that use these tactic so be careful.
