Acai berry scams

Acai Berry Scams have followed from the little berry’s surprising rise to stardom after it was featured on the Oprah Winfrey show in 2008. The American queen of talkshow gave her backing to Acai Berry when it was put on top of Oprah’s Superfood List by the Columbia University heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz. Although the top spot on the list was fully deserved by the berry’s uncountable health benefits, it also gave rise to unfair marketing practices of many weight loss supplements’ retailers. Acai Berry Scams claimed to be endorsed by Oprah Winfrey to elicit trust and cheat thousands of customers of their money. The fraudsters gave false promises and made exaggerated claims about the fruit’s properties, undermining Acai Berry’s genuine capabilities to aid weight loss and improve health. Acai Berry Scams mostly operate in either of two methods.

30-Day Trial Acai Berry Scams

Days after the famous list of Oprah’s Superfoods was published, 30-day Trial Acai Berry Scams appeared on the internet. The scammers justly assumed that people who sampled the Acai Berry supplement for a period of a month would notice its healing influence and felt compelled to keep buying the product. The problem was that, as a customer, you would expect to participate in the trial and then place future orders as you please. This was not the case with 30-day Trial Acai Berry Scams. The fraudsters gained access to the customer’s credit card and kept charging it on continuous basis past the 30 days period, until you noticed the repeated charges and explicitly cancelled the trial. The American BBB (the Better Business Bureau) received thousands of complaints from disappointed customers but the 30-day Trial Acai Berry Scams continued to expand, now selling over the internet even in the UK.

Poor quality Acai Berry Scams

Speaking on "Good Morning America" in 2008, doctor Oz complained of Acai Berry Scams using his name to sell fake products which don’t work in the way they are described. As the cost of harvesting and transporting Acai Berries from Brazil is quite high, some companies selling the supplements on the internet tried to save money by using minimal quantities of the fruit. Other retailers used poor quality berries, stored in a way which deprived them of all nutritional value. Acai Berry Scams advertised their products as recommended by Oprah and Dr. Oz to give them credibility. However, when discussing Acai Berry’s immense concentration of antioxidants, the talkshow’s doctor was talking about the fruit in pure form, or freeze-dried moments after being picked. Fruit handled in any other way is not suitable for use and should not be sold.

Warning about Acai Berry Scams

On August 19, 2009, Harpo, Inc., the producers of The Oprah Winfrey Show, filed a lawsuit against 40 Internet Acai Berry Scams Companies. They hoped to distance themselves that way from some products sold on the internet which were straightforwardly a waste of money. The example of Acai Berry Scams showed how shopping on the internet requires cautiousness and good sense. It’s worth remembering that if something looks too good to be true, it usually is. So if a website promises that Acai Berry can make you lose 3 stone without any change to your diet or exercise, you have reasons to be suspicious. Also, be wary whenever you hand over your credit card details. Just like you wouldn’t leave your card at a dubious-looking fruit stall in the market, don’t use it on a site which is not trustworthy. Genuine internet retailers will have a traceable history of trading, a registered address in the UK and offer a selection of payment methods. Also check the conditions of returns and warranty before you place an order. Lastly, take some time to read the description of the product you want to buy. The site should offer advice and present the product in an informative manner, not make unsubstantiated or inflated claims.
