Acai Power blast is another of those crappy acai products that have been designed and manufactured solely for the purpose of perpetuating the ubiquitous free trial scam. In this scam, customers are encouraged to sign up for a free trial offer for one acai product or another. This free trial sounds very promising, and all the site asks for is the visitor’s credit card details so they can take the shipping and handling.
In reality what happens is that the customer is unknowingly signed up for a subscription in which they will receive a number of packs of Acai Power Blast (or whatever product is being pushed) at some extortionate price. Up to $100 in some cases. The subscription is pretty much impossible to cancel, and many people have found the only way out is to cancel their credit card.
In order to lure customers into a false sense of security these scammers set up sites that look just like real news sites. They also have a pretty young thing offering a testimonial about how X product changed her life. In the case of Acai Power Blast the young lady is called Gina Miller, and the site is www.usahealthreport.org.
Neither www.usahealthreport.org nor Gina Miller exist for any reason except to scam you, the casual acai buyer. Check out the graphic below for many more examples of this nasty scam.

The sites below are examples
of this nasty scam technique
Thanks for asking for my thoughts! As a conserned American citizen I have always reported suspicious activities to the authorities. I am purplexed as the authorities themselves report more and more stealing, ie fraud and many other catagories. It brings to mind pictures of some school principle running into a classroom announcing someone is breaking school rules!
The oaths and paychecks of the authorities are provided in exchange first of all to retrieve what was stolen, then procecute later. The idea that the criminal must be caught in order to return the reported stolen item, deed, mortgage, cash, car etc is bogus, false, incorrect. The banks, large corporations and big time political or media folks seem to get fake paper “invalidated” publically with no problem and usually some thief or singled out person of the scam goes away to jail. So why are our authorities no longer returning stuff, voiding clearly fake deeds, loans mortgages, phoney money, cars etc to the small business and the individual? Possibly becuase there is so much that those less weslthy are in a purpetual state of oh wait again there is someone more important than you who got here after you,that I am going to serve, thats right,ahead of you. Its a really big problem and costing what left of the trust and secureness in any bank, credit card company or state/federal policing authority today. When Americans stopped buying gas a BP gas stations, million dollar commercials were produced to ask them-us to come back pretty please. I believe Americans should use that momentum right now and threaten to BP the credit card companys, the banks and anyone running for office who is not first retieving our stolen stuff, then go after the bad guys in a single file line of reporting the incident. Take a number big banks, those victims were after me and those folks are not explaining to little Suzy and Joey why we have to move away from their school and friends becuase the police and government attorenys are letting the crooks hang on to daddys money and stuff that he reported stolen for some wierd reason!
