The acai berry has been causing a storm all over the world as health-food junkies discover the numerous advantages of an acai diet. The acai berry (pronounced aa-sai-ee) contains high levels of antioxidants, fiber and fatty acids. There are a large number of acai berry products on the market, including everything from juices to powders.
With the increase in popularity of these products has come a surge in the number of con artists looking to exploit the situation. Scammers set up websites offering “risk-free” trial period of acai berry products, but rather than finding themselves a great deal, thousands of people have ended up out of pocket after being stung for products they didn’t order.
“The number of scammers out there has certainly made it harder for legitimate businesses like ours, but that doesn’t mean that people don’t still want to get their hands on acai products. Although some people have been ripped off, the companies people should avoid have now been widely publicised,” said Bryan Nettles of Pure Acai Products, which markets acai berry supplements in America.
Celebs such as Oprah Winfrey and Rachel Ray have featured acai berries on their talkshows. However, with many people turning to the Internet to order these wonder-berries, many shoppers have fallen victim to the scammers.
“People who want acai products need only do a bit of research to find out that there are companies out there that aren’t going to rip them off,” said Nettles.
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) issued a warning about acai free trial offer scams on January 6. Online fraudsters tempt Web surfers with offers of free trials, but when people try to cancel their orders, they find themselves having inadvertently signed up for more acai products than they bargained for.
The dodgy dealers put up and take down new websites every day, making it virtually impossible to keep track of them. Shoppers who sign up for these free trials have within an allotted period to cancel or else they end up with monthly deliveries of bottles and credit card bills of $85.90 each time. The trial period typically lasts only 10 to 14 days from the date the order is placed.
Canceling an order isn’t as simple as it sounds, however. Try phoning one of the companies involved and you will find yourself on hold indefinitely, if not cut off altogether. How can you cancel an order if you can’t get through to the company?
“These companies are simply abusing general acai berry endorsements from well-known, trusted celebrities by using it as a tacit endorsement of their company and products specifically,” said a BBB spokesman.
Acai berries are big business. Last year, sales of acai berry products were close to $15 million, while in November, Google recorded more than 1.5 million acai-related searches.
Acai products are sold in health-food stores and many regular grocery chains. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal recently reported that drinks giants Coco-Cola and Pepsi are planning to launch a range of sodas containing acai.
Acai products come in various forms – juices, powders, capsules, jams and so on – and their popularity is showing no signs of slowing, despite the presence of fraudsters.

Jone Dow asked:
I was inspired to write this article after seeing too many people post that they got charged because of the acai berry free trial they’ve ordered. Seeing how I somewhat disagree with the responses those questions receive – which are mostly screams of “it’s a scam” and complete denial of any responsibility for their own action. And so, this article was written, it will tell you exactly what you need to do so you don’t end up getting charged when you order your trial.
As you may know many companies producing acai berry capsules offer a free trial. It’s a pretty good deal, you pay for shipping and handling and then send you a month worth of capsules to try. However, unless you still believe in Santa you already know that there is nothing free in this world. So the question here is two fold: What’s the catch? And, do you care about that catch? There are many reasons for a company to give their product for free, but being nice or wanting you to get a free product is not one of them.
In this case the catch is that when you order your trial you are signed up for an auto shipment program, you will be sent a bottle every month and your credit card will be charged. Some companies will even do it as 3 month in advance, that is you are charged for 3 months worth and send 3 months worth of capsules, and you would be charged once ever 3 months obviously. The reason for this is because it’s fairly hard to return unused bottles for a refund, so i assume a lot of people don’t do it (kind of like mail in rebates)
Also, many companies will also sign you up for one or several additional, lower cost programs – weight loss newsletter or some such, sometimes they are listed on your order page as “free bonuses” but in reality they are just trials for those products, again, if you fail to cancel by a date specified, you will get charged. Last but not least, the trial period in most cases will start when you order, not when you get the product.
Now, all of these terms are clearly laid out in the “Term of Use” section of a web site that you buy from (ie. the site that will be asking you for credit card number) and is also often displayed on the page where you input your credit card numbers. And while hiding important details like this in terms of use section may be a bit shady, and probably isn’t the highlight of honest business practice, it isn’t much different than a cable ad I just got in my mail. In large letters it says “get cable for 29$ a month” than in smaller letter it says “for the first 3 months” than in even smaller letters it says “after that 60$” Advertising is advertising, it’s main purpose is to sell product, it’s up to the customers to make sure they understand all the conditions.
So, what you do to protect yourself from getting charged when you order a free trial of acai berry? It’s actually pretty simple. First read the terms of use section and note how many add on products you’ll be signed up for, and the time given to cancel those (some will only have a 7 day trial ) Look at the capsules themselves, how long do you have to cancel them? Are the phone numbers provided (they should be) for you to call to cancel?
Ok, now go ahead and order your trial. Wait a few hours (or you could try to do it right away, but I am not sure if their processing is that fast.) So, wait a few hours and call all the add on products you were signed up for and cancel them. This may result in you never getting those add on products though, to somewhat fix that you can wait a few days and cancel then. Now for the main product itself, as soon as your bottle of capsules arrives, call and cancel your trial. Don’t wait till 14th day of a 15 day trial, do it right away.
If you like the product (it’s pretty good) you can order it once more, cancel add ons but keep the main product’s auto shipment program. If you don’t like it, well, everything is canceled and your credit card is safe. Get your free trial of acai by following this link.
