The acai product that calls itself Certified Acai is a sham, a scam, a complete and utter lie. Everything about it is fake, false and misleading. It is yet another lower quality drum-dried product designed to be cheap to make and expensive to sell. Drum drying acai burns out the goodness and nutrition. In addition, the makers of Certified Acai have seen fit to fill it with cheap ‘filler’ products. This is not a good buy.
One of the sites I have seen selling this scam product is www.news7special.tv. This is one of those fake news sites that tries to pretend to be a legitimate news channel. Let there be no doubt: this is not legitimate, and the site’s only reason for being is to flog this garbage. The fake news site ‘phenomenon’ is a dangerous and misleading trend in which sites (see the graphic below for a list of other sites following this tactic) pretend to be a news site. They post a picture of a news reader on the front page (in this case a young lady called Julia Sandler) , and then try to convince you to sign up for a “free trial” on the product. The sites use the same tactic but change the names of the site and of the friendly news reader each time. Other sites may not be called www.news7special.tv and may not feature Julia Sander, but you can be sure that they follow exactly the same nefarious pattern.
The final insult in this case is the Free Trial that I mentioned they advertised. For only the cost of shipping and handling, you too can try Acai Certified. DON’T FALL FOR IT! The free trial angle is just a ruse for you to send them your credit card details. Once they have these they will charge you for a ‘subscription’ for the acai product, which will cost you up to $100 a month and will be difficult or impossible to cancel. Sound like a good deal now? Of course not.
