Protect Yourself From One of the Worst Scams Around, the Acai Cleanse Scam
Posted by: HealthyGirl / Category: Weight Loss
The acai berry cleanse scam is giving acai berries a bad name. We have all seen the fake blogs with pictures telling you the owner of the blog is a 30 something mom that lost 30 pounds or more with free acai berry cleanse supplements. You probably know these websites are fake, but many times people want to believe they can magically lose weight they throw caution to the wind.
I believe acai berry supplements are very beneficial and have written several other pages on the topic. Unfortunately, when it comes to the acai berry cleanse scam there is nothing positive to say about it, but I will show you what to look for so you don’t get scammed too.
By learning what to look for in a scam, you should be able to avoid being taken advantage of.
Most of the scam websites look very similar. The website will supposedly tell the true story of a person who lost a bunch of weight with free supplements. The story will talk about how she (it is almost always a female) had no energy until she found these free trials for weight loss supplements and a colon cleanse product.
There will also be impressive before and after pictures of the person telling the story. The pictures are usually stock photos and cost $1 at www.stockxpert.com and they have lots of them. Using stock photos is not a bad thing in most cases, but here people are trying to deceive you.
After the story and recommendation to order specific supplements, there will be a comments section at the bottom. In that section there will be some comments saying how great the supplements worked. The comments section will be closed so you can’t leave a comment or if it allows you to put in a comment it will never be shown.
The fancy fake blogs (flogs for short) will detect where you are in the world and say something like “Hi this is Shelly from Houston, TX and I want to help you . . . “. No matter where in the world you are, it will look like the person is your neighbor.
I shouldn’t even need to say this, but you need to pay attention to the details whenever you order something on the internet. If you want a free trial, that is ok. You just need to realize you will be charged for future shipments unless you cancel. Some people have had problems with certain companies. If you are worried about extra charges, use a prepaid card that won’t accept charges unless you have money in there.
Because of all the scams, many people are avoiding free trials and choosing to pay more just to be safe. Many of the free trial supplements are also available in great deals like by 3 get 2 free. You can even buy single bottles with no strings attached. Just do a little research and you will be ok.
