NEW FORM OF FRAUD - ACAI BERRY - FREE SAMPLESMy mother always taught me to try to learn from someone else's mistakes and stop reinventing the wheel.
We are all being deluged with emails about the Acai berry and these free samples - just pay postage. Okay, one dummy, step up to plate.
Naive and trusting, I ordered my one week free sample for $3.99 hoping to see a wonderful difference in my life and go on to a lifetime supply of this fountain of youth and health.
I took the week's supply...felt no different...and said "oh well...I've done worse things with $3.99."
I know you're waiting for the other show to hit the ground and duck...here it comes!
I get a package in the mail with a bottle of 60 pills. I go on line and look at my credit card and they have charged my card an additional $74".99!!!!!!
First I called the c/c company and am disputing the charge but I know I will lose/. I contacted Performance Products USA at acai?.performanceproductsusa".com and was refered to their webpage buried among millions with a click on accept terms which has a negative marketing plan and they will continue to hit my card for $74/.99 until I opt out of the program/.
They also refuse to take it back "unopened" and could care less about anything I try to do;. Because of their terms, no matter how well they hid them on their website and how unethical opt out programs are, the credit company will deny my dispute:.
So, do your friends and associates and family members a HUGE favor...copy and send them this information so they do not fall into the same trap I did...let them learn their lessons the cheap and easy way...my lesson was far too expensive.
And by forwarding this to all who will listen, you will be helping me get the word out to these scam artists, that we are not going to take this entrapment lying down. Send to everyone you know....PLEASE?

| 2. Written by Janet on March 22, 2011 from athens, georgia, US I had huge charges monthly ($139, $127) but no product. The phone numbers supplied are bogus. And they charge under a bogus name. I turned them in to the bank and had to cancel my card. I also had cancelled my account, but got the $127 charge the next month. |
| 3. Written by be careful on March 12, 2011 from englewood, colorado, US I was lucky, and wised up enough to cancel my card after the first unexpected charge of $3.99! What makes the whole thing worse is all the news cast are fake!! take a look for yourself, scroll to the very bottom and actually read the terms and conditions, it says "people, and names are not real'. Or better yet try and click on the local business, world new, or traffic on those sites!! They don't go anywhere. A few of the sites are saying they are HealthNewsReporter.net or www.News7HealthReports.com. These 'fake' news sites are the first to pop up when your research acai berry scams..... Be careful, and smart. They appear real, but are not. The company leanspa is part of the whole scam the news sites will link you to them! |
| 4. Written by lookingstupid on March 6, 2011 from mesa, arizona, US It appears I should proof read things before sending them. Try, "and make a complaint".... Sorry for the sloppyness and spelling errors....  |
| 5. Written by Wolf on March 6, 2011 from mesa, arizona, US Being a retired policeman I suggest everyone contact their State's attorney general office a make a complaint. I was lucky, I saw the scam before I made any moves. It all goes back to what good old Father taught us, if it sounds to good to be true, well, you know the rest.  |

| 7. Written by Joyce on February 27, 2011 from longmont, colorado, US Thank you for the information. I normally don't learn from other people's mistakes, but I'll take your word for it and make this a first. |
| 8. Written by Pissed as ***! on February 25, 2011 from stamford, connecticut, US I am mostly mad at myself for being so foolish and falling for this scam! I paid the $4.95 for the "free sample" and by the end of the week my card was charged almost $90 for another months supply which i had never authorizr]ed AND this is before I even received the sample!! The company is called: Advance Pure. Beware!!! I am currently disputing the charges with my bank, wish me luck  |
| 9. Written by jb on February 20, 2011 from raleigh, north carolina, US This IS a SCAM. I am unable to "contact" anyone in order to cancel my order after paying $103 that was charged to my card only 4 days after the first $3.99 FREE order??? I had to cancel my card to stop the additional charges. Anyone know who I can contact to report this SCAM. These people need to be put out of business and serve some jail time!!! I live on a fixed income and cannot afford anyone charging my credit card when I do not like the product anyway. |
| 10. Written by Marti on February 7, 2011 from bozeman, montana, US Unbelievable! My husband (who never uses the computer) got an email to his private account (again - doesn't use it - we just set it up as a convenience) confirming his order of Acai Berry! What? Then in my research I see that the mailing address is his business address which we NEVER use for anything - plus - they had my private credit card number - my own card. He doesn't have access to it! How the heck did they get that information? This is more than a scam - they are somehow stealing people's information/identity! Why isn't anything being done about this? |
