Acai Berry Scam: Acai Tropic

Acai Tropic is another acai product which fools buyers with a low trial price which quickly converts to a high monthly committment. Read the fine print and hidden details here now.

The website is Catherine's diet blog and Catherine describes how she lost nearly 50 pounds using the wonders of the acai plant found in Acai Tropic. According to Catherine, Acai Tropic is high in antioxidants, increased her energy, suppressed her hunger and made her skin look better and younger.

Further, the website claims that a bottle of Acai Tropic is free with a small shipping charge if you order through the website today.

First off, acai is an berry found in South America and it allegedly has some anti oxidant values. However, these websites are making claims which have not been substanciated by the FDA. Worse of all, the product is not *free.

Visitors to the website can click on any of the Acai Tropic links and be taken to a sign up form for the *free sample. But the hidden, small print has some shocking details not reveealed in the advertisement on Catherine's Diet Blog.

For some reason, the website which opens is for Acai Optimum and not Acai Tropic. Regardless, there are some specific terms which are hidden way down at the bottom of the page which buyers need to see first.

First, the sample is not free. It is a trial sample and period to use it.

The AcaiOptimum comes with a fourteen (14) day free trial period, measured from the date you place your order, and not from the date you receive your order
When you place your order, you will be shipped a thirty (30) day supply of the Product.

The trial period only lasts for a certain amount of time:

You'll have fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of your order to evaluate the Product
If you don't cancel, then the real charges kick in:

at the end of the Free Trial Period you will be billed $79.95 for the Product you evaluated during the Free Trial Period

Then they send you more:

and thirty (30) days from the date of your order, you will be sent a new thirty (30) day supply of the Product as described in the “RECURRING ORDERS” section, below.

There are many acai berry products being marketed on the internet. Beware when buying as many use this same tactic to charge buyers over and over again for their product.

Acai Berry Scam: MaxAcai Boost


You have seen the ads everywhere for Acai berry products for losing weight and cleaning the colon to reduce built up waste. But have you read the Terms of Service?

However, if you run across an ad for MaxAcai Boost, be sure read the Terms and Conditions for purchase.

There is not a truly "free trial" and signing up for the trial makes the buyer liable for the full purchase at a later date.

Your order trial begins when you place your order not when you receive it!

Beginning on the day that You place an order for a product (“Product”) from the Website, Your nineteen (19) day Free Trial period begins (“Free Trial Period”). The Free Trial Period is calculated in calendar days, not business days.

If you do nothing after receiving the trial order, you will get billed for the full amount

Acai Berry Scam: Pure Acai


From a fake news site, Consumer Defender - Editorials & Opinion, comes a fake review of acai berry products. As usual, the "reporter" only features the products for sale by the affiliate of the acai berry products.

As usual, "The Consumer Defender" makes the same claims and story.

"We wanted to see if acai berry did what it said"
"We researched the best products.."
"We concluded that Pure Acai was the best out there.."
"We tried it for four weeks and found that it worked best with some colon products"


And so on.

Then comes the claims about how the products supposedly work..

Pure Acai will..

While the Colon Cleanse will do the following..

Helps to Regulate Metabolism


Then they make the claim that both products are free or free trials.

Within just a few days after I placed the orders I received the Free Trial* offers for both Pure Acai and Bromalite Cleanse. Before I place the orders I found a coupons for each offer.

But before you run off and order, look at the bottom of the sales page. The Terms and Conditions for both products.

Acai Berry Scam: Acai Berry Breeze


Another fake news site, Health News 6, promoting more acai berry products.

First, claims that acai berry products can reduce weight or clean colons have not been validated or approved by the FDA.

A "reporter, Mary Cunningwood" claims that she tried two acai berry products to lose weight and reports on this advertising page about the two products.

Acai Berry Breeze and Colon Cleanse 3000 are the two products reviewed. As with teeth whiteners, the ads say that only by using both products will the desired results be found. Again, the ads claim that the products in question are available for a limited time for a reduced price. Of course, the actual prices are hidden in the Terms and Conditions which shows a much steeper price to pay.

The claims are the same -

Acai Berry Breeze..

4 Times More Weight Loss Than Diet And Exercise
Boosts Energy
Rich in Antioxidants
Promotes Cardiovascular and Digestive Health


Colon Cleanse 3000..

Helps Eliminate Bad Toxins that have Built Up Over the Years
Removes ‘Sludge’ from the Walls of the Colon
Helps Get Rid of Gas and Bloating
Helps to Regulate the Metabolism


The pricing is listed for both products as a free trial.

However, at the bottom of the page is the real pricing.

When you order the Trial of Acai Berry Breeze your credit card will be charged $4.95 for shipping and handling of a 1 Month Supply of Acai Berry Breeze. You will have 14 days from your original purchase date to decide if Acai Berry Breeze is right for you. If you are enjoying Acai Berry Breeze do nothing and at the end of your 14 day trial period you will be charged the low rate of only $83.95 for the bottle you received.

Approximately 30 days from your original purchase date and every 30 days thereafter you will be sent another fresh 1 month supply of Colon Cleanse 3000 and your credit card on file will be billed the Member's Only price of $83.95 plus $4.95 shipping and handling for a total of $88.90.

To cancel Acai Berry Breeze - call 1-866-421-6554.

To cancel Colon Cleanse 3000 - call 1-888-895-1159.

Remember, neither of these products are free. Also, a number of sellers of these types of products, not necessarily the ones featured here, are being threatened with lawsuits for using the images or quotations from well known celebrities without their permission to sell these products.

Acai Berry Scam: Tammys Fat Loss


I found this one on a fake blog site, Tammy's Fat Loss. Tammy Fisher claims that she lost lots of weight with the Acai Bery diet. She goes on to say that she used two supplements to lose the weight.

Everyone of these Acai ads use the same format. The main character (nearly always fictitious), lost the weight by using two products - an Acai Berry detox and another to clean their colon. Using both caused them to lose weight.

Before buying one of these products, read the fine print found in the Terms and Conditions.

The first product is called Acai Berry Detox. Detox claims it will flush your body of toxins and leave you feeling purified and refreshed. I don't see how this will lose weight. Maybe those toxins are hiding in fat or something? Either way, it is not very scientific.

Next, the other product is called Nature Colon Detox. This product claims to flush out extra weight and increase concentration. Strangely, there is no fat in the colon. The colon is where our body eventually breaks down and expels sold waste. So again, I did not find this very reassuring from a scientific stand point.

Financially, it makes sense; for the seller.

Read the terms and conditions for each product...

Acai Berry Detox - is not free. The price is reduced for an unknown trial period. After that trial period ends, the price goes to its normal monthly fee of $87.13. The buyer will keep receiving a month supply of Acai Berry Detox at $87.13 a month until they cancel.

Nature Colon Detox - also is not free. 12 days after your order is placed (you may or may not have received your reduced priced product in the mail), your credit card will be charged $92.31. This charge will continue for monthly shipments of Nature Colon Detox at $92.31 until canceled.

To cancel Nature Colon Detox call 1-877-350-8480.

To cancel Acai Berry Detox call 1-866-949-0138.

Remember, neither of these products are free. Also, a number of sellers of these types of products, not necessarily the ones featured here, are being threatened with lawsuits for using the images or quotations from well known celebrities without their permission to sell these products.

Acai Berry Scam Blog does not sell the products reviewed here. If you have purchased one of these products and need support or to cancel, please contact the seller of the product directly. You can find this on the Terms and Conditions page of the product your purchased online.
