After reviewing my blog, if you have any doubt that you'll get ripped off if you try one of these "TRIALS", just go online yourself and check out the complaints on numerous websites such as www.complaintboard.com, and other scam related sites. To help STOP THIS RIP OFF report your experience to the FBI at the Internet Fraud Complain Center.

FREE TRIAL SCAMS - INTERNET SCAMS - HOW THEY WORK
1) You go to your favourite Search Engine (Google, Yahoo, etc)
2) You type in your “Search Criteria”, also called “keyword” (in our case, Acai Berry),
3) You find an attractive AD and you click on it.
4) Chances are you have found yourself a scam and you will be told that you are looking at the best product on the planet and that if you want to look like Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie, you better order quick before they run out of it (The sense of emergency is a basic sales technique and the first Tactic they might be using).
RULE NUMBER 1: Don’t worry. If you want to buy from them they will always sell to you.
5) You are being offered a Free Trial.
6) Fill in your information.
7) You should be charged only few Bucks for shipping and handling
8) You should receive your product within 3-4 days.
Usually the Web Site will mention somewhere that you will not be charged for the product if you cancel within the trial period which is usually about 14-15 days.

NTR*acoptimumcs.com / AcaiOptimum SCAM
Is this the same guy or his cousin operating in ARIZONA now, just keep moving around, changing names, company names, product name.
This look JUST LIKE the website I got scammed by, but the names have changed. I think this is truly a ring of Acai Diet SCAMS that the FBI needs to deal with.
Check out the complaints listed at www.complaintsboard.com
Here are a few samples
I order, which I thought, was the FREE trial bottle for .99 cent plus shipping and handling. My account was charged, when I submitted the information, $100.97. I callce the company for a refund, since they have a 100% guarantee, and to ship the product back. The supervisor stated they have a no refund policy . Therefore I am out $100.97 and have 3 bottles of the product to be flushed down the toilet. If anything I have learned never to trust anything you read in the newspaper or anything stated by a company on line. This is a ripoff and I would advise all people to disreguard and not advertise their product... Lesson Learne
Below is a copy of an email I sent Acai diet system. and of course nothing has been done about it.
I spoke with Jason Williams, a customer service rep. he just kept repeating over and over about the terms and conditions of my free trial. Regardless I found the plan to be very misleading. I'm sent a whole bottle but only 14 of them are free? I work with a local rating group and newspaper and the ladies in my neighborhood were asked to give the free trial a shot. Well we did. And now we have all been charged money we do not have. Mr. Williams flat out refused to give me a name or address so that we could file a complaint. I don't care what it says in the terms and conditions, it is downright shady to send a whole bottle when only 14 are free.
Needless to say you have lost a dozen customers so far. I'm sure you could care less, but we are giving it a rating of zero and having the paper print the misleading way you managed to make a pretty penny off of us as we are teachers, waitresses, nurses, and housewives.
shame on you. We should have been given at least a partial refund for the ambiguous set up you have.
There a dozens of complaints listed.

YOU'LL NEVER NEVER GET A REFUND
Here’s the page that comes up when you follow that link in the article. It’s a very very simple page inviting you to try their product for almost nothing. FIRST CLUE!!!!!!!!
ProductPrice

(In Stock-ships within 24 hours)
$0.00
Sub-Total$0.00$0.99 Shipping & Handling

At the bottom of the page, READ THE FINE PRINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Offer Details: By placing your order today you’ll be shipped a 30 day supply of AcaiOptimum (just pay S&H). If you feel AcaiOptimum is not for you, cancel within 14 days from today to avoid the purchase fee of $79.98
______________________________________________
BLOGGER NOTATION: But they charged me 87.47 on 6/21, which even according to their records is only 10 days after the online order! So the price is wrong and they didn’t wait the 14 days!!!!!!!!!
… and enrollment in the auto-shipment program which sends you 2 bottles every 60 days starting 30 days after your trial period at the low price of $49 per bottle.
NOTE:BLOGGER COMMENT: That would amount to $98! First of all they NEVER sent me any additional bottles, yet they charged me another 87.47 on 7/15 and another 1.49 on 7/19. They could not produce ANY other tracking numbers for shipments, other than the first bottle!!!!!!!!!!! Therefore, they didn’t send me anything yet billed me two additional charges. The reason they didn’t send me anything else is because when they called me on approximately July 1st, about a week after I received the first bottle, I told them to remove me from their system, to cancel everything, to take me off their telemarketing list. THIS IS WHY THEY NEVER SENT ME ANY MORE BOTTLES. BECAUSE I HAD CANCELLED. Yet, they still charged my account
Your credit card charge will appear as NTR*acoptimumcs.com.
NOTE BLOGGER COMMENT: Again, a different name. Now it’s NTR acoptimumes, but it comes through as Swiss Sciences, NOT NTR. If you don’t check your bank statements, you are screwed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
