Regarded as one of the most famous and controversial health supplements in the world, the Acai Berry is a small purplish berry that grows primarily in flood plains and swamps of Central and South America. Praised for having rich in fibre, antioxidants and fatty acids, fat loss gurus have long hailed the berry as the important tool in the battle of the bulge.
Medical research has also indicated that the Acai Berry acts as an appetite suppressant, in addition to boosting the immune system and preventing free radicals from destroying your own cells and helping your skin to look more radiant.
Attempting to profit from the latest craze, numerous scammers have set up sites that offer free Acai Berry trials that fail to materialize, hard-to-cancel recurring orders on your credit card and other methods of trickery to make cash from unsuspecting customers.
Robert Pearce, an online security expert said, "1st of all, understand that the Acai Berry itself is not the problem, and there are some small steps you could consider to avoid becoming the victim of an online Acai Berry scam."
Here are a few pointers of points you really should look out for.
. Make sure the website has the phone number! - give them a call, a good honest business will not mind you checking that they are a legitimate business before placing an order with them.
. Is there an address on the site? - make sure the company address is on the site, and that it is a geographical address not the PO-Box address.
. Use an independent review site - independent review sites use genuine reviews from real people. This will guarantee that you know you are buying from a safe website.
. Google the company name or name of the site - if the site has a poor reputation, chances are that people have talked around them on forums.
. A large, reputable business might make the billing mistake, or there can be a misunderstanding, but it is usually rapidly resolved. Small hoax companies will operate above the law, and it is difficult for the government to keep up with them, that means that client satisfaction is not high on their agenda.
. Make sure that you read all of the fine print on the website. If the web site mentions anything around recurring billing, it is a scam and if it mentions anything around a free trial, where you are required to cancel by the certain time in your billing cycle, it is a scam.
. Do not sign up to any free trials - if the deal seems too good to be true, it often is.
