The ad makes claims about acai berry which are used on other ad websites:

This ad was found on "Health News 4" which is supposed to make a buyer believe Certified Acai has been reviewed by a news organization.

If you have seen these ads and are considering purchasing one of these products, read the find print carefully. Normally, it is found on the sign up page under "Terms and Conditions" but also at the bottom of the advertising page as well.

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? Most don't and think the "free trial offers" let them truly try and product and then decide to purchase later if interested. Don't count on it.

MaxAcai Boost is being heavily marketed on the Internet, mainly on internet news and celebrity sites. The product makes claims such as..

Burn fat while you sleep
Cleans toxins and sludge from your system
Makes skin brighter and toner
Gives you energy

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

If You are satisfied with the Product and wish to continue to receive the Product on a monthly basis, You need do nothing else. Upon the expiration of the Free Trial Period, Your credit card will be billed for the full cost of the Product that You ordered (i.e., a thirty day supply).

If you still do nothing, they will keep sending you product in the mail.

Unless You cancel this service, every thirty (30) days thereafter Max Acai Boost will send you an additional thirty (30) day supply of the Product You ordered, and the credit card You provided to us will be automatically billed for the Product.

And the real cost of the product kicks in after the 19 day trial is over.

You will be billed at such reduced price until the promotional period ends or Max Acai Boost is assured of payment by your credit card processor, after which time the Product price will be restored to its normal rate, or $79.95. Downward modified or promotional prices may be restored to normal rates without prior notice to you.


If you wish to cancel MaxAcai Boost, you must call 1-866-992-6556 before the next order ships.

Be aware of these Terms if you plan on trying Max Acai Boost in the future. You will be liable for some stiff payments after the trial is over if you fail to cancel!

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..

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.
