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.

A scam site will look like a blog. 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 diet pills 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.

Sometimes the flogs (fake blogs as they are called) will be programmed to detect where you are located and customize the page for you to make it look like the person who did this is in your city. No matter where in the world you are, it will look like the person is your neighbor.

You need to pay attention to what you are signing up for. 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.
