All the reliable and credible scientific literature conducted on acai is related to the antioxidant capacity and composition of the berry oil. Companies promoting acai as a weight loss aid deliberately hide the content of their product. They claim to provide a product in pill form that is acai. They don’t reveal what percentage of that pill is acai and whether it’s made from freeze-dried or spray-dried powder. Acai does not possess the ability to boost, create, or stimulate weight loss. It is considered a superfood for its nutritional profile. A superfood does not mean that it supports weight loss. The product that this company sells does not work because it cannot work according to their claims.
If you try to contact any of the companies that sell Acai miracle diet pills, you will most likely be connected to an answering service. When you ask the service if they had any way to contact the company directly, they will probably tell you that they did not have access to any phone numbers except for the toll number listed on the website. If you ask what was the name of the company that was providing this service, you will probably find that the business names are not registered, in other words, the company is hiding. They do not provide a physical address, a reliable phone number to the headquarters of a company nor can they be searched through Google or the state in which they do business.
All of these companies have the trademarks of the organizations involved in scamming the public. There is no recourse. In their terms of service and privacy statements, they are very clear about taking private information from customers with the intention of selling and reselling. In addition to this, they clearly state that they will use ‘cookies’, an internet term to describe the act of monitoring their customers’ internet usage. Essentially, they say that when you buy a product from them, not only will they sell and resell all of your private information, but they say that the purchase in effect creates a contract with the customer that allows the company to monitor and spy on its customers. so they can get more private information to sell and resell.
This is what the Terms of Service of one of the websites actually state:
1.2 Third Party List Information.
XXXX collects information from individuals when an individual provides information to a third party and XXXX subsequently purchases, licenses or otherwise acquires the information from the third party (the “Seller”). Such purchased information may include, but is not limited to, a person’s name, email address, postal address, zip code, phone numbers (including cell phone numbers and providers), date of birth, gender, salary range, credit card information, education and marital status, occupation, employment industry, personal and online interests, and any other information the person may have provided to the Seller (collectively, “Third Party List Information”). When acquiring Third Party List Information, XXXX seeks assurances from the Seller that the Seller has the right to transfer the Third Party List Information to XXXX and that the Seller has the right to provide offers from advertisers to individuals whose personal information is included in the Sellers List.
In other words, it appears to be a phishing scam. Their terms of service allow them, through a “contract”, to use your personal information in any way they wish. Phishing refers to the process of tricking you into providing personal information, such as your bank account or credit card details, or your passwords. Phishing is prevalent on the internet today and you need to be very careful about this phenomenon and protect your personal information.
The Acai Berry Diet [http://ripoffreport.com/searchresults.asp?q5=acai%20berry&q1=ALL&q4=&q6=&q3=&q2=&q7=&searchtype=0&submit2=Search!&Search=Search] The “free trial” is a sophisticated “bait and switch” scheme. If you do not cancel the product after receiving it, your credit card will be billed approximately $ 80 for your “Free Trial.” Not only that, you will be billed EVERY month for around $ 80 until you cancel the monthly subscription. But given that they promise to lose 50 pounds, a normal customer would probably give the product some time to see if it really works before canceling it. But by the time they see that it doesn’t work, your credit card could have charged $ 80-160. Some of the terms of service reject any returns, so the customer is stuck with the invoice and the product ineffective. In other words, it is a perfect scam.
Always check the terms of service and privacy policies of an online store before buying something. A reputable store must have trusted icons such as Hacker Safe, McAfee Secure or BBBOnline that validate the physical address of a company, the phone number that must also appear on their home page or on their “About us” page. You can also use a free browser plug-in from McAfee.com called SiteAdvisor to indicate whether a website is safe while searching on Google, yahoo, or msn. If a website has not been validated, you will see a question mark; otherwise the site will have a green check mark. Additionally, some sites have been flagged if they have been caught spamming or using fraudulent schemes.
