wow i feel like an idiot. i just found your website but i already ordered the acai berry select…i’m so scared that all my money will be gone, especially because i was so stupid to pay with my DEBIT carD!!! argh..has anyone tried the acai berry select before?

it said my trial was free with a mail-in coupon. and in order to get that coupon i have to buy 4 refills for $14.97 each. doesn’t look to me like its a ‘free trial’ so much now does it? and they never mentioned that i had to pay $14.97 each until after i already gave them my debit card number…..im scared!!!

I too wish I had known about the “scam” before I ordered and paid for this product. When I ordered the “free” trial, I thought I was paying for shipping and handling but after I entered my debit card info, the next page gave the total of $99.96 and then I could mail in a form to get a rebate. Nothing in the offer stated this is how the free trial worked. Also, I was never given an amount that would be charged to my card. That should have been a red flag. I attempted to call to cancel but could not get through. I finally received the product after 2 weeks so it was too late to cancel according to the terms and conditions, which unfortunately I had not read. I never did get a rebate as I printed the mail in rebate form and it states, “to qualify for the rebate, you must be a legal resident of the USA, at least 18 years of age or older and you must have completed the full purchase of the AcaiOptimum Program which is two payments of $99.96.” I didn’t qualify because, fortunately,I cancelled my debit card with my financial institution before they could charge the second $99.96. Lesson learned but it cost me over $100. So please always read the fine print, click on the terms & conditions & don’t give any credit or debit card information unless you are sure of what you are paying for.

Would have been excellent if I had found this website so much earlier!

After ordering my free trial, I recieved another bottle 30 days later and was charged $130. I persistantly called customer service, and dealt with many numbers that ‘could not be connected’. Another bottle arrives, another $130. Same ordeal as before.

Finally after almost $400, Visa got me a contact phone number to whom was making these charges. Visa also said that I was fully responsible for paying these charges because the company -even though it is in fine print- has fully informed me of their guidelines and policies (which I was completely unaware of, I did not see this on the website).

So I thought I may as well start them seeing as how I paid full price for them.
A load of B.S., Acai Berry does not work at all!

I am sorry for all you people this company ripped off. Thankfully I was smart enough to get a temporary debit card, put only 20 dollars on it, and purchased the two bottles with that.

I have yet to receive my bottles but its o.k they will no longer be taking money away from me. Yeah they got their free trial membership money but that’s all they’re getting from me.

Like the lady said if it sounds too good to be true, then more than likely it is. Everyone have a good day.

My credit card was charged $149 by berry pure on FREE trial offer. Their products are high in caffeine. I purchased 2 bottles at walmart for $15. Acai berry is high in antioxidents & may be a health benefit.

Not only is this a product that probably doesn’t work, it doesn’t exist. My wife has had her credit card charged and received nothing. Others have also been scammed by these ****. A physical location for these ****** would be good, so suitable retribution could be carried out.

I visited Extreme Acai berry website two days ago, in an attempt to look at the information and make a decision about whether or not to pay for the free trial. I entered my information and clicked to go to the next page. Then I saw some of the “requirements” and I decided to opt out. So I clicked the “back” arrow, deleted my information, and got off the site. Over the past two days, they have called my phone eight times! When I finally was able to answer the phone today, the representative said that “For some reason, the information and the shipment was never processed” and he wanted to see if we could get that resolved. I said, “no, I’ve decided to lose weight the old fashioned way.” He immediately said, “Then stay away from our website. Thank you so much,” and then he hung up the phone!!! Now I’m very worried about what information they do have about me, and whether or not they will use my card information to charge me for something I never “agreed” with.

Editor’s comments: Marissa, don’t worry – since you didn’t press the “order” button, you never agreed to purchasing the product, or their terms and conditions. That’s why they are calling you; because they cannot complete your order until you do so. If they are underhanded enough to process your order, call your credit card company and do a charge back. Tell them that you never finalized the order, backing out after you read the fine print.

I’m from Ireland i too ordered the free trial of Extreme Acai Berry, I now realize it’s a glorified scam. In Europe the Terms and conditions have to be clearly shown and not hidden. It even made news on an Irish radio talk show today where a lady said she tried the product for the trial period, tried to cancel it couldn’t get through to the phone numbers given, and ended up getting charged for 4 months supply at once and eventually had to cancel her credit card.

Well, I have just canceled my credit card too!
