How to Buy Extreme Acai Berry
Few promotions have had the negative reaction from consumers, media, and attorneys general as have the "free trial offers" for acai products. Extreme Acai Berry is just one of these, but seems to outdistance all the others in the number of complaints--hundreds--on one website alone.

The Promises
-
These marketers tout easy weight loss and cures for many health problems, tied in with "cleansing" and "metabolism." As CNN Health points out in a report on March 23, 2009, none of the marketers offer scientific or clinical proof for their claims, which are based on personal or even invented testimonials. But with an offer of a "free 14-day trial," consumers feel they can't go wrong. Only later do they discover that they are charged upfront for the product, and that they have subscribed to monthly shipments and automatic billing to their credit or debit cards. Consumers also discover that canceling their orders or getting their money back is difficult or impossible.
Scams About Scams
-
One of the clever ways some marketers hook consumers is to advertise sites that expose acai scams. So if you are reading an article on a weight-loss scam, there is a link to "the truth about acai" or "why your acai doesn't work." But the product and offer is much the same as the one being exposed, sometimes just with a different name by the same company.

Supposed Media Exposes
-
As you research acai products, including Extreme Acai Berry, you will find articles in "news media" websites that expose certain acai brands and then tout another brand that "works." Two of these are "Weekly Consumer Digest" and "USA Health News Today." Both are trying to selling you another brand of acai.
Precautions
-
If you are going to buy acai products, do so from reputable, well-established companies that need no gimmicks to find customers. Check their offers and guarantees carefully, as well as their contact information. Check with their local Better Business Bureau to see what rating they have. Also, check your local health stores.
