It is quite unfortunate but not entirely surprising that, given the explosive popularity of the acai berry in recent years, there are now many scam artists taking advantage of people using the acai berry as the bait. They are conning people by saying that they can sign up for a free trial offer but then find out that since you took the freebies you are now committed to accept a boatload of other crap that you don't need. And yes, the other crap is conveniently charged to the credit card that you used to sign up with. Full price too. People, listen to me... if a company says it needs to 'verify your age' and therefore needs a working credit card, that is internet speak for 'you are about to get scammed'. Use some common sense. If you are interested in trying Acai berry products then please do some reading on them and make sure that you pay for them .. anything free will most likely cost you more than if you just pay the money to start with.

The most surprising thing is that some of the biggest (or at least the most prevalent on the internet) companies are the ones guilty of this. While I personally believe that the acai berry has much to offer, I do not endorse any company that uses it to lure people into the bait and switch scam. As an aside, these companies are not the only ones doing this; there are thousands of them out there luring customers in with words like "free" and "money-back guarantee" and etc. Anytime a celebrity endorses or even alludes to a product by name, then the sharks start attacking. So far, acai berry products have not been officially endorsed by celebrities. Just because a talk show may discuss a certain topic does not mean that they therefore endorse it or that they are associated with it.

I hope you notice that I do not advertise the weight loss crap on my site. I do put google ads on that may contain those but I cannot control what Google chooses to feed this site; it is completely automated. Please do not get your acai products through a 'free trial' scam.
