Beat the Acai Scam

Beat the Acai Scam

Well, if you found my site you are doing one of three things: researching, just got scammed, or trying to find out if it is. I am putting together this quick blog during my lunch break. what i did was find a way to get the trial and have it be a real free trial.

i always read the fine print. i do it with credit cards, cell phones and now acai. so here is what i found. the loopholes if you will.

if you want to try it out you can follow what i did.

so go to the link here. its one of those free trial acai links. i did this one thats why it is here. anyways,here are the steps to do to safeguard yourself.

1. fill in the info it asks
2. on the bottom, uncheck boxes that say opt in.
3. input credit card info. again uncheck that tiny box below.
4. then tomorrow, call them. but here is what i did. call from work. you have a speaker phone htere, do it during a break or lunch. last i called it was light jazz so no biggie. you will be on hold for a long time. again speaker phone rules. get some work done or emails while you wait. ask if your product has shipped, if no ask when. if yes, ask to go ahead and cancel future orders.
5. ask them to look at your record if you have been automatically been put in part of some program like that fit thing. cancel that.
6. ask what direct number you can call if you have further questions.

yes, this seems like a lot, but in order to try it out and see if acai is what you like then you have to do some steps.

i had no probs and do this with other "free" stuff. I just beat them at their own game by reading alot and looking into it.

i hope this helps you. i got my acai and like it. but i like it cause it was free :)

  1. The first thought that appeared in my mind was "Why not use a virtual credit card number that can be charged only once?"

  2. I received the free trial as well and like you I liked it and was grateful that they let me try it for free so I was okay with being charged. When a company is as nice as acaiaslim to let me try their product for free the only ethical thing to do would be to continue using the product and pay for it.
