Acai Berry Scams - How to Avoid Them
Acai Berry is a great product, and ever since it was mentioned on Oprah’s show it has been getting more and more buzz in the media. However, like anything good, acai has attracted vultures looking to make bank on the surge of interest towards acai berry from the general population. Which is why the latest acai berry buzz in the media is focused on acai scams, rather than on acai berry benefits.
Acai Scam? What Is It About?
Because the companies making acai berry capsules are so confident in their product they offer a free trial (you pay shipping and handling.) Like all free trial companies out there, you will be billed if you fail to cancel your subscription - you subscribe when you order your free trial. This isn’t really a problem, just pick up a phone and cancel. However, the scam companies make it impossible to cancel - they won’t respond to phone calls or emails, forcing you to dispute charges with your credit card company.
I think it’s horrible what those companies are doing. Not only do they screw people (and at such tough economic times as well) but they also ruin the good name of good companies promoting acai products, not to mention the acai berry itself. And so I’ve created this guide of a few easy steps you can follow to avoid being falling victim to those scamming companies.
How to Avoid Acai Scams:
- Know exactly what you are signing up for - read terms of service
- When does the trial period starts - when the order goes through or when you get the bottle?
- Are there any add on products? What terms do those have, how to cancel them?
- Call the phone numbers provided (to cancel) and see how long it will take to get a customer rep on the line.
Now once you order your free trial, cancel any odd on products right away, unless you are interested in them. If the trial period starts when the order goes through, you may want to cancel the free trial as soon as you get your bottle. That way you can test if you like the product for the whole month, instead of the 7 or so days you’d likely have left on the free trial when you finally get your bottle. If you like the product you can just reorder it.
Follow the above steps and you are well on your way to avoiding most of the acai scams. But don’t let a few bad apples stop you from trying acai berry products. There are good products out there, backed up by good companies who make it easy to cancel if you want to. For example AcaiBurn has great customer service - I was able to get through to customer service rep on my first call. So don’t miss out on the benefits of acai berry, just be sure to follow the recommended steps to avoid any surprises.
