Acai Berry Scams & Weight Loss

By: Shaun Thomson Home | Health-and-Fitness


Ever feel that every email you get these days is for another Acai Berry supplements that guarantees you will lose 30 pounds in a week? What about the claims that Oprah and Dr. Oz use Acai as their secret weight loss weapon? To top it all off, most of these Acai emails claim you can get their Acai supplement for free. Is it true or just an acai berry scam?

Are the Free Acai Supplements Really Free?

No they are not. You will see many acai berry supplements that claim to offer a free trial. The way it works is that you enter your credit card to just pay $3.95 for shipping and then you get a free trial of Acai. It all sounds like a good deal until you read the fine print hidden about 10 pages deep in their "Terms of Service".

It turns out that by agreeing to the "free trial" you are also signing up to have an Acai supplement mailed to you every 30 days and billed $60 - $90 a month. What about the free trial bottle you are getting for your weight loss program? If you don't cancel within 14 days you will be billed for that bottle as well!

It sounds like these acai berry free trial deals are a scam - right?

Some may call these free trial deals Acai Berry scams. Others will see them as maybe misleading, but not scams. Whilst the terminology may not be that important, what is important is that consumers know the facts so they can fairly compare Acai supplements.

On January 5, 2009 the Better Business Bureau (BBB) of the USA issued a warning to consumers about Acai companies that are using misleading sales and marketing practices. The issue the BBB had was with the failure of these Acai "free trial" companies to fairly and accurately display the fact that consumers will be billed a monthly fee and need to cancel their "membership" or they could face charges of over $90 a month.

What about the Acai supplements endorsed by Oprah and Dr. Oz?

While there are numerous sites claiming or implying that Oprah and/or Dr. Oz endorsed their Acai berry supplement - this is just not true. Let's be very clear about this - Oprah and Dr. Oz have never endorsed or recommended any acai supplement.

It is true, however, that Oprah, Dr. Oz and Dr. Perricone have had very positive things to say about the Acai berry supplement - they simply have never endorsed any particular Acai supplement.
