Acai berry scams have quite literally taken over the internet. With a simple search you may find tons of ads in front of your face. With all of these ads promising so much it’s hard not to get caught up in the possibilities of losing so much weight.

Because of how popular the scam has become I wanted to write this article just to inform everybody of what’s going on and how they can avoid being scammed.

Around the early 80’s the acai berry finally made it’s way to North America where it wasn’t widely used due to the bitter taste the berry has.

Due to science advancing though the berry was able to be put into a pill capsule and it literally took off after that. All of a sudden acai was featured on every TV talk show out there and it seemed like every body was talking about the berry. Literally thousands of men and women started searching for acai.

Like all good things though some people had to try to ruin it. Some con men got together and decided to offer people free trials of the acai berry as long as they paid shipping and handling for it. The reason they did this was because when they paid shipping and handling the con men would get their credit card information and would be able to bill them every few weeks whether they wanted to continue or not.

Some con men saw this as an opportunity to make boat loads of money so they made websites offering free trials of the acai berry as long as the consumer paid shipping and handling. Once the consumer paid with their credit card they were foreced into a billing sequence where they would be billed every two weeks.

Remember that acai itself is great – the way it’s promoted simply isn’t.
