If you see a site advertising Acai Berry Active, stay well away! It’s 100% a scam product. From the poor quality of the product, the fact that the sites promoting it pretend to be legitimate news outlets, the fake ‘news reader’ that the site uses, right to the phoney ‘free trial offer’ that is offered. Everything points to this being a scam that you should steer well clear of.
The site that we have seen most recently to promote Acai Berry Active is www.consumertipsweekly.net. This is not a consumer tips site: it’s there simply to try and push a “free trial” of the Acai Berry Active product. This free trial is misleading, to say the least: customers signing up for a free trial will instead sign themselves into a subscription for the product, and will be sent a package every month. The subscription will cost anything up to $100 per month, and will invariably represent very, very poor value for money. Often the products are worth only a fraction of the monthly cost. This subscription is intentionally made very difficult to get out of. The solution of course is to not get involved in the first place!
The scam is a popular one amongst the acai scammers, and www.consumertipsweekly.net is not the only site doing it: check out the graphic to see some other examples. In all cases, the site pretends to be a legitimate news outlet doing its best to educate customers. They even put up a fake picture of a news reader (in this case she is Katherine Miller). Katherine Miller does not exist, of course: she is as fake as the site itself.
There are many acai scams out there, and they are certainly not limited to Katherine Miller and www.consumertipsweekly.net, nor are the constrained just to this ‘fake news scam’. Check our acai berry scams page for more information.
