Acai berry scams have literally come up all over the internet. It seems like every website you visit is advertising one of these scams.

The history of the acai berry is very rich. It was first found by the natives of the Amazon rain forest and they have used it for thousands of years in order to keep them in peak physical shape.

The “bitter berry” as it’s sometimes called came to North America around the late 80′s but due to it’s bitter taste most didn’t bother to even try it.

Once scientists were able to put all the nutrients from the berry into pill form though the berry literally took off. It seemed that no matter where you went people were talking about this berry and how much weight men and women alike were losing due to it.

Like all good things though some people had to try to ruin it. Some con men got together and decided to offer people free trials of the acai berry as long as they paid shipping and handling for it. The reason they did this was because when they paid shipping and handling the con men would get their credit card information and would be able to bill them every few weeks whether they wanted to continue or not.

This was pretty tricky and they continue to make a boat load of money by doing this. Most consumers just cancel and don’t really mind being out a hundred dollars or so but it really bothers me when I think that people think acai is a scam when that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Acai is great just the way it’s mass marketed is terrible. To avoid these scams I recommend you simply do your homework. Before buying any product go online and start searching for reviews of the product in order to see if it’s really all it’s cracked up to be. This is a great way to see if you should take the plunge or not.
