AVOID ACAI BERRY SCAMS
HOW TO AVOID ACAI BERRY SCAMS
There are thousands of web sites advertising a free-trial bottle of Acai. BEWARE of that word FREE. We have received many phone calls and e-mails from desperate consumers who have been victims of free offer scams. Read the fine print. Are you signing up for monthly auto-shipping and auto-billing? We have heard about the frustration of these people who have tried unsuccessfully to cancel their monthly auto-ship and auto-billing of their credit card. After several attempts to contact these scammers by telephone or e-mail, consumers have had to cancel their credit card as a last resort.
These sites also have false endorsements from Oprah, Rachel Ray, the Today show, CNN, Reader´s Digest, etc. Don´t be misled—none of these have actually endorsed a specific acai brand or product. They have stated that the acai berry was rated as the number one “superfood”, and we absolutely agree with that fact.
One way to identify a legitimate acai supplement website is to make sure they accept PayPal. Why? PayPal does not allow auto-billing and consumers can easily “stop-payment” with PayPal. Scam websites do not accept PayPal because they would lose money. Why? Scam websites pay marketing companies up to $35 per sale to send traffic to their website. Obviously, if they are paying $35 for you to go to their website and sign-up for a “free-trial”, that trial bottle is NOT REALLY FREE. They are going to take your credit-card info for “shipping”, and then charge it each month for $89 bottle or more. And if you are like other people we have spoken to, you will NOT BE ABLE TO CONTACT THEM TO CANCEL THE AUTO-BILLIING.
Here´s another way to check for legitimacy, does the website list a phone number, and if you call it BEFORE YOU PURCHASE, can you talk to a real person? If not, it is highly unlikely you will reach a person when you are trying to stop that auto-billing. There is always someone answering calls at Perfect Supplements at 1-866-802-3860 M-F from 9am to 5pm EST. Or you may contact “ThePerfectAcai.com, Independent Affiliate/Greg Wilder at 707-245-5458, from 8am to 8pm PST.
Before signing up for a free trail of acai, we recommend checking the following websites for complaint reports on the brand that you are considering : Complaints Board and Rip Off Report. Another helpful tip is to type the brand name followed by the word “scam” into any search engine.
There are a couple of other things you want to look for if you are shopping for a high quality acai supplement. The supplement should list EXACTLY what is in the capsule (preferably only 100% pure organic acai berry). Let´s face it, if you are paying a lot of money for acai berry, you don´t want a product full of cheap fillers. Many companies add other ingrediants to the capsules to lower the cost. Then with fancy marketing they advertise it is acai berry plus somthing.
How about a money back guarantee if you are unhappy with the product? Again, you might want to look for a phone number on the website and go ahead and call to verify that someone answers and can confirm their return policy.
Perfect Supplements offers 100% pure organic acai supplements with a Consumer Bill of Rights which states, among other things, that you will never be automatically billed for anything at any time, a 100% money back guarantee (minus shipping costs), and a phone number where you can talk to a real person.
