So far I have only written about the health benefits, nutritional properties and miraculous healing abilities of the acai berries. But this article will highlight the different acai berry scams, and side effects which are not mentioned or under wraps.

ACAI BERRY SIDE EFFECTS:
There is only one noticeable side effect of the acai berry which most people consider as a boon than a side effect. The acai berry acts as an appetite suppressant, making you feel filled after consumption. It triggers weight loss without you taking any other fad diet.

ACAI BERRY DIET SCAMS:
Now comes the real deal: Acai berry marketing and sales scams. Apart from being an elixir that can make you look young, the acai berry is marketed as a weight loss supplement and sold as a weight loss pill. But it is never specified on the packaging as to what the real percentage of the acai berry is in that pill or whether this acai pill has been created from freeze dried powder or spray dried powder.

The acai berry is promoted as a super food, but it does not actually stimulate weight loss MAGICALLY. Naturally obese people who take the acai berry diet pills hardly see any change in their body shape, thus feeling cheated.

You will also find it difficult to haul these different companies selling fake acai berry products (which often contain hardly or no acai berry ingredients but instead most likely to contain poisonous or lethal substances like lead) and seek compensation for your grievances because these companies are ACTUALLY taking in customers for a ride and making money by cheating and duping them.

These fraudulent companies hardly provide any physical address nor their real contact numbers with the exception of a very vague toll-free number which would contain a automated/pre-recorded answering service. These companies may be unregistered as well. Pills bought from these companies don’t do miracles and wonders for your health.

There are even companies claiming to sell acai berry products which are actually just a cover for phishing activities instead. Companies claiming to offer free trial of their acai berry products may have criminal intent and practice a very sophisticated scheme of “bait and switch”, which is another way of tricking you into giving up your money.

When you cancel their product after a supposedly free trial run offer, because you find that their product is bogus, your credit card bill will have increased by as much as $160! In short, most of the acai berry scams are related to fraudulent companies and not directly to acai berry.

Purchase acai berry products from reputed sites, health stores and online stores which are registered and have the appropriate seal of authentication and safety given by the government and other concerned offices.
