Acai Berry : Acai Berry Free Trial Scams

Posted by virtualted on Jul 10th, 2010 | 0 comments

Acai berry is selling like a hot cake since its being offered free of cost. I have seen several complaints from people who say that they were charged for the diet.

The Reality Behind The Free Acai Berry Diet

I do not blame people for not reading terms and conditions. Most people see the big public figures like Oprah and Rachel and sign up with even being bothered to read the details. Although the Acai berry supplement is good for health and also helps in weight loss, it does not come for free. There are several genuine Acai berry supplements being sold online and offline.

Most of the Acai berry diets being sold online sign you on their auto ship program. This means if you do not cancel, your card will be charged and you will be shipped the product every month.

So if you are really serious about weight loss and have money to spend, then I would recommend its usage. Try the diet by paying only shipping and handling and if you are not satisfied with the results, just cancel the subscription. I have used the Acai berry supplement and have lost 34 pounds in 10 weeks. But I would like you to know that I had to pay for the supplement as I knew there is no free lunch in this world.

Why Should You Try Acai Berry Supplement

Acai berry is called super food because of its contents and its positive effect on health. It contains Vitamin A, B1 and D. It helps control appetite and metabolism which in turn helps in weight loss. If you are overweight and would like to shed off those extra pounds from your body without going through a lot of pain, you should go ahead and order the free trial of this wonder product. Make sure to cancel within the trial period if you are not satisfied.

I have used this diet personally and have only the positive experience. However, the results vary from person to person. I used the diet and made sure I walked in open air for 10 minutes each day after dinner. It helped me lose weight at a warp speed.

Free Acai Berry Pills – Free Trial Scams Exposed

Posted by virtualted on Jun 20th, 2010 | 0 comments

FREE PILL’S GALORE

There are 2 main problems with signing up for free Acai berry pills online…

UNPURE ACAI BERRY

Because Acai berry works so well, it has become extremely popular, and because of it’s popularity, a lot of companies have started selling it. The problem with this is that a lot of these companies are diluting these pills until they are nothing more than about 25% low grade Acai pulp. The end result is the consumer does not lose any weight or get any increase in energy and so decides to cancel the free trial. But had they worked, the consumer would have gladly kept them and been billed $49.95 for every bottle they were sent after the first month.

CANCELLING ORDERS

This is where the scam side of things come into it. Most of the companies offering this free acai berry pills trial offer have made it next to almost impossible when it comes to cancelling a free trial offer. In most cases, you the consumer at your own expense, will need to make a non free calling, long distance call in order to cancel your free trial. One lady reportedly waited 72 minutes on hold before her cancellation was handled by an operator. And there are many more cases just like this occurring more and more every day.

HOW TO BUY ACAI WITHOUT GETTING SCAMMED

The most important thing is to buy from a reputable or recommended source. Also cancellation should be as easy as possible and should not require expense on your behalf in any way. The genuine companies will allow you to email your cancellation and it will be stopped immediately.

Since their rapid rise in popularity, free acai berry pills are being offered as a 14 day free trial everywhere you look these days. Given the fact that most Acai berry pills do actually work for most people, suppliers offering these free trials count on the fact that you will lose a decent amount of weight within those first 14 days and decide not to cancel your orders. But whilst the thought of a bottle of free Acai berry pills is appealing, trying to cancel an order through some of these suppliers can be anything but.

Acai Berry Free Trial – How to Protect Yourself

Posted by virtualted on Jun 10th, 2010 | 0 comments

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.

Thinking of Ordering Acai Berry Free Trial? Read This First

Acai berry is very nutritious and contains many great ingredients such as omega fats, minerals and vitamins. It’s also a very powerful antioxidant and is rich in fiber. Because of its excellent nutrition there are many products based on it on the market. Many companies, especially those producing capsules, are offering an acai berry free trial – which is a great thing, being able to try it before you buy it is always good. Unfortunately a few bad companies are using the “free trial” offers to scam people. How exactly does the scam work? Continue to read to find out..

There are two parts here – a none scam part and a scam part, however a lot of people seem to mix up the two. I’ll start with the none scam part.

All the companies offering those free trials, will sign up you for an automated shipping when you order the trial. That is to say should you not cancel your trial in the time period specified, the credit card you used to pay for shipping and handling for free trial will be charged some amount and you will receive your next shipment. A lot of people call this a scam. It’s not. While the ethical part of not highlighting important details (like the fact you’ll be charged if you don’t cancel) may be a bit questionable. This is how the “free trial” industry operates, doesn’t matter if you order online, from a tv ad or a magazine, that’s how it works – you don’t cancel you get charged.

The details of how much you will be charged and when you need to cancel to avoid it are clearly stated in Terms of Use section of the web site you buy from. As well as often being displayed on the order page where you input your credit card number. So if someone fails to read it or fails to cancel in time, it’s that persons fault, and not by any means a scam.

The scam part of it is that a few companies are exploiting this system by making it impossible to cancel – not responding to phone calls or emails. Some people people got charged hundreds of dollars and ended up having to cancel their credit cards to stop the payments. This is obviously something you want to avoid, so it’s important to do some research first on the company. Pay attention though to why people claim a company is a “scam” as I pointed out a lot of people claim they got scammed because they didn’t read that they needed to cancel. While it’s an unfortunate situation, it doesn’t make such a company scammers.
