I ordered package two which clearly states in the terms and conditions that it does NOT come with a membership and is one time charge, but they signed me up for the weightloss ebook package and insider secret tips package that have a fee every month. after talking to an online chat person she gave me two phone numbers to call to cancel both of those but the numbers dont exist. I then told her that if I could not cancel those I wanted to cancel my entire order. They sent a refund receipt to my email address and hopefully it will not have charged.

They are a scam. The only way to stop the charges was to cancel your credit card immediately.I had to do that and the product never arrived and I was charged $25 for shipping. What a con!

Not to mention all those other charges people mentioned there is also a "comprehensive weight loss" company that charges you 9.99/m as well. I too canceled my membership with acai burn.. didn't even open the bottle returned it to them before the 14 day trial and noticed some "membership" charges for the past 2 months. So I called to find out what they were and it was this company i had never heard of before who said I enrolled in this program when I signed up for acai burn. Rediculous, and they are not refunding my money.

I too have been tricked by these stupid AcaiBurn wankers. I'm from NZ so it's bloody hard rying to get hold of them. My fix-it? Cancelled my card and asked the bank to send me a new one. HOPEFULLY that works. Have never come across such a nasty advertising ploy before.

Hi there!

I was duped by the Acai Burn company's free trial too, but I tried my hardest to cancel the order. By using this complaints website, I was able to get the information I needed to cancel the order.

I live in the UK, so I had to use a different extension for the phone call:

[protected]

I spoke to a charming lady called Gail B, and she explained everything to me clearly. As it wasn't a same day cancellation, I wasn't able to stop the first shipment, but she cancelled the auto-shipping which meant that they would not try to send me the item again. Though I still have to pay $59.95 for the first bottle, there is a 60-day guarantee whereby if I send it back, I will get fully refunded.

I also requested that she cancel the 'additional' memberships that I would be charged for, and she did so for me.

I'm not sure whether everything has gone according to plan so far, as I can't see any damage done to my bank account yet, but hopefully, when all this is done, I'll only have paid for the P&P.

What a pain in the ###.

Cheers to Gail

Hi
I have cancelled my card for my bank account and it still WON'T stop them getting their money as the bank sends a cancellation form that will take 31 days to implement! If Acai Burn put in a request for another £41 for the next months supply, I will have to pay it and if there are no funds available in my account, I will be charged for going overdrawn!
Acai Burn have taken three lots of money totalling approx £81 and I only signed up for the one off 30 day trial at $24.95 (£18.33) on March 17th.
I have never recieved a thing.
I am going to try the number that Gail (as above) has given and live in hope that they stop trying to take money and refund me for a product I have never even seen!
I am also cancelling the bank account completely anyway.
Nightmare!

If you're in the UK then call [protected].
If you're in the US call [protected]
If you're anywhere else in the world call using the International Dialling code from where ever you are to the US.
Office opening hours are 5am - 9pm MST, Sun - Mon.
I have just called and await a full refund ( yet to be seen) in 3 -5 working days but my details where also used by a second company for a 'Comprehensive Weight Loss Plan '. To cancel with them call [protected] ( UK International dialling code) as they charge you another $9.95 per month!
I have never had ANY info from them either and NEVER recieved any product from Acai Burn!
If and only if, my account is credited, I will advise on this website.
I live in hope!

Yes, this is definitely a scam, a big fat scam that's happened to myself. I was led, misled to believe that I would only incur a shipping charge of $4.25 even when I have chosen the option Country Australia but got charged about $24 instead, which I didn't even mind. It states that if I want to cancel and send back the free trial, I can do it only after 14 days. There isn't any stipulations of any on going charges, just a free trial and no mention of ### membership we get automatically enrolled into.

I was furious as obviously it's a ### product as I lost more weight without taking any of their tablets by just eating smaller potions and doing exercises. Imagine my surprise when my credit card statement with entries appearing for some memberships crap. The customer officers were really rude and not helpful at all when I complained and they told me it's in the Terms and Condition but it's all a pack of lies. I tried calling the 2 membership phone lines to cancel the so-called membership but to no avail as no one ever answers and it's gone through to voicemail everytime. The website they gave you is totally useless seeing it's just some stupid pages with the books to download but no contact info or any other useful info apart from the same number I was given to call for the cancellation of the membership which I have signed up unwittingly!

I have sent my parcel back and hopefully will get my refund of $59.95 in 2 weeks time. They even got the cheek to insist we pay more money to send it via UPS or FedEX with tracking codes and delivery confirmation even though it took them over 2 and half weeks for the parcel to reach me instead of the recommended 4-7 days!

Please all spread the words this is Pure and Simple Big Fat Scam and shut this whole thing down once and for all!

Brilliant one from Won't get fooled again as I am very furious with what Happy Acai User said. How dare she say we are all ignorant bunch of tards!? We are people who needs hope to get through live even though in our heart we might think this product would not work but who have all the time in the world to read small prints in the Terms and Conditions?! Only fat couch potatoes like Happy Acai Use, no life person would have the time to do such thing as obviously she has got nothing better to do with her life! She is the stupid one, stupid enough to think that product actually works and that she's not being scammed!

FYI, am a very successful Senior Management in a prestigue company and probably earn 3 times or more than what you earn in a year so who's the bunch of stupid tards now?

Did it even occur to you that we are so pissed of with this whole scam that we aren't even going to bother proof reading what we wrote seeing that we've already wasted enough of our money and our precious time trying to sort this whole thing out? Why in the hell do we want to bother wasting checking for any grammar or spelling mistakes? This isn't a cover letter or resume to a company so we can make as many mistakes we like you dumbo!

By the way, judging others by their grammar or spelling mistakes are deceiving as we all know alot of talented people can't write at all. So why don't you get your big fat ### off the chair for once instead of sitting in front of the computer reading all the useless Terms and Conditions?!

Oh Happy Acai User, FYI, I am actually a size 6 petite gorgeous lady who happened to order Acai for the fun of it, no harm if it's free trial, so all your stupid comments about fat people out there, do your homework first before you slag anyone off, especially since you are an Acai User yourself, you should know better!

I doubt if you are 6 stone like myself, so maybe you should think about the horrible and nasty comments you've written about those people who in fact really needed hope to get through life.

The person/people who write such things must have sat and read all our comments in the first instance and I wonder how much of their time they 'wasted' doing so if they are happy with their weight! Lol.
And they expeeded energy writing the material ... the clock is ticking...to be ignored. Ignorance, bad language, finger pointing belongs in the playground but it makes me laugh at these sad folks who really have no place on this board...don't waste your time retorting strangers ! Lololololo.

My thoughts!
None of you should be pissed off at the company. You should all know that when ever you enter a credit card/bank information on a free trial advertisement, they are doing it to screw you of your money. Yes they are scammers for doing it, but you shouldn't be an dumb ### for falling for it.

I have to say I sniffed a scam during the conversation. I had enquired by internet and then they phoned me (in Canada). I went for the $4.95 deal and at least three times tried to make sure that I would be not charged the $59.99 if I cancelled in my case, 21 days or so they said. A Samantha Weaver (if such a person exists) assured me that would NOT happen. I didn't trust the whole thing so called after the trial package arrived to cancel. Of course they were still going to take the $59.99. I argued to no avail of course, but where is the free trial then? So, I had to call Visa and change my card so they can't get at it. I've learned my lesson.

And to "Happy Acai" who said "No. 1 - If you weren't so lazy, you would have been able to read the terms and conditions and know that the company is on the level. You have a 14 day free trial of a full one month supply. After the 14 days, you are billed $59.95. Maybe this is why you all are fat to begin with. Lazy!, I have to assume you are

"No. 1 - easily brainwashed

No. 2 - probably have few or no friends

No. 3 - you must work for the company

No. 4 - you can't add. I repeat what YOU said ... 14 day free trial but then you're billed for a month. So where in that do you see anything free? Regarding your ridiculous assumption of fat, lazy, greedy, stupid fat jerks ... I can pretty much guarantee you have a few issues of your own. Take care, happy scamming to those involved in the company and may I say how very, very pleased I am never to have to deal with you again.

Today is April 27, 2009 and I just called to cancel and was told about the $59.95 charge. I am now being told to mail the trial bottle back - insured and tracked and I will be credited. I hope so...I am onl doing tracking via USPS - not paying for insurance !

BUT you all need to note this. I had to call and 4 different things - seen some of you mention only TWO...so here goes

1. Insider Secrets - 1*866*279*6513
2. Comprehensive Weight Loss Program - 1*[protected]
3. Fraud Protection - [protected]
4. ID Theft Prevention - [protected]

I hope I am not missing any others - but I found those. INSIDER SECRETS charged me $6.95 because they said I had 7 days NOT 14 days trial ! NO REFUND !

NEVER AGAIN - YOU WANNA LOSE WEIGHT - TRY THIS - EAT LESS AND WALK WALK WALK...I DID IT YEARS AGO AND LOST WEIGHT - JUST BY WALKING...

I WANTED THEE ACAI FOR ITS BENEFITS AND SEE I GOT BURNT...BEWARE YA'LL !

I'm tempted to cancel my credit card (I got screwed over, too), but if I do and they try to refund me, I won't get my money back, will I?

Oh, and as for the two 'ebooks' or whatever it is they call it...the person at my bank suggested calling them AGAIN and pretending as though I had not called and cancelled. That way, if it actually had been cancelled, when I called to cancel again it would say that it had already been cancelled...if they went ahead and cancelled it on the second phone call, then it would mean that it had NOT been cancelled the first time.

They rip you off in the fact they dont state their facts on the sheet clearly. Call the number to cancel and they will cancel it for you no hassle. My best advice would be to cancel your credit or debit card you origionally paid with. Or DO NOT ORDER THE PRODUCT. Way more hassle than its worth.

I just signed up for the pills today. They do tell you that you are getting signed up for trials with their partner companies. I can't really call this a scam, they aren't lying to you, they are just being less that _blatantly_ forthcoming. I think of this as buying a new computer, and then getting tons of bloatware with it, the difference being this "bloatware" activates itself and you start getting charged :P. In short, do your homework and you'll be okay, _everything_ is in the fine print.

The links should all be in the last document you see on their site when you sign up, but for those of you who go into anaphylactic shock upon digging for information:

The Insider Secrets Expert Tips Package: [protected]
Comprehensive Weight Loss E-book Package: [protected]
Identity Theft Protection Centre: [protected]
Fraud Protection Resources: [protected]

Be sure to take down the names of the people you are dealing with as well as your cancellation numbers, sometimes database update errors happen. Also, don't be belligerent when talking to the agents; people are _much_ more likely to help you if you are friendly on the phone (I used to be tech support).

I got the "free" acai burn trial - and i was PISSED when i realised they were going to charge me $60! Luckily I realised straight after I received it... so hopefully now I can ring up in time and I won't be charged. I really can't be bothered with the returning side of it though, that's a real pain in the ###.

If the product is as good as the company states then it would offer a FREE TRIAL but as it is crap they have to charge the earth. I av never paid so much for a quarter of a bottle of tablets, why would you need to join 2 other memberships that i wasnt even aware of, if its so good then print it so that it is clear and the company will maintain a good reputation. Acai burn pffft whatever!

I NEVER signed up for this. For me, it wasn't a matter of misunderstanding the terms; I simply never ordered it. I hadn't even heard of this product until I saw charges to my account. I've gotten charged two MORE times, even after cancelling my card. I guess they snuck one last charge in before my card officially closed. Sneaky weasels. My bank told me they deal with Acai Burn ALL the time and have to issue credits and reverse charges for their customers on a daily basis. WTF?! Apparently, they come up as pop-up ads lots of times, like if you're on Amazon or whatever, and that if you don't properly close out of their windows you can "accidentally" get charged. That is the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I want Acai Burn to burn in HELL!

I just tried calling, apparently my pills had been sent on the 8th, i am in the uk and was wondering where they were, after reading this page, i do not want to be signed up, i dint agree to paying monthly for starters! I talked to a very unhepful women called Arsddly, who sounds like quite the pie eater, and she wants to still charge me in 8 days, i am still waiting, how long is to long so i can tell them not to bloody charge me!?

I did NOT order this product. In fact, I had never even HEARD of it -- until I noticed I was being charged for it in my bank account. But somehow this scam of a company, Acai Burn, accessed my card information and charged me SEVERAL times. Of course, I went straight to my bank to sort it out. I had to cancel my card, wait a week for a new one, only to discover that Acai Burn had squeezed out another charge from me before my card actually closed. I was, and still am, outraged. And amazed that this sneaky, lowlife company is still doing business! I don't WANT the "free" trial or whatever it is they offer; I want them to stop accessing my information through partner sites. The person I spoke to at my bank said that if you don't "properly" close out of their pop-ups ads, they can charge you. WTF?! Has anyone else heard this? That is just absurd. How can they get away with this? The bank also told me this happens all the time and they are frequently reversing charges and having to deal with customers' Acai Burn complaints. This MUST come to an end. I want Acai Burn to BURN in hell!

I had NEVER HEARD OF THIS PRODUCT. I didn't want it. I was charged for it UNKNOWINGLY. They somehow hacked into my information - i NEVER signed up for this membership or trial or whatever it is. I am looking for HELPFUL responses. Don't strain your feeble mind on my post when clearly you don't understand it. (Or know how to spell "truly.") You are an ignorant, offensive ###.

If these people were truly honest, they would not place pop-up timers limiting the amount of time you have to read the terms and conditions, as well as NOT charge you for a month's worth of the pills, AND the "free trial" shipping on the same day, nonetheless, like they have myself. $1.95 rush shipping special AND $59.95 Acai Burn both pending within 5 minutes of placing "free trial" offer. Nowhere did I see that they were going to charge both at once, otherwise I would not have placed in my information.

As for those people calling others bad names, and using opulent language, just for something we do not fully understand, it's not a good practice. Some companies pay people to bash others profusely when sending bad messages about said company, just so they can get more sales. Most of these websites just have information that is falsely buffed in their favor, saying "we can do this" or "they can't do this, " omitting anything saying something bad about the product, or even copying information about another product and saying it is fully about this one. Honestly, that's not honest or respectful in any case.

Amy, I truly understand where you are coming from. These people are not trying to do honest business, otherwise they would have 24-hour helplines, and live chat people, not pre-recorded bs web-bots that just try to push sales, or non-working numbers in some areas.

If anyone searching for this product reads this, please DON'T GET THE TRIAL, it'll be more of a headache if you do. Go to GNC or VitaminShoppe, or some other local retailer and just purchase the berries, or equal supplement to try it out. Don't get scammed like us and so many others have.

People stop letting the sites rip you off. Just purchase a 25 dollar Pre Paid Visa and use that card to purchase your free trial products. Let them try and charge the card after that. If the product works for you then give them your real credit card number. The pre paid visa will save you some time and a whole lot of money. I use this card with many different free offers products. Make sure you screen shot the Free trail policy and cancel within the 14 day period. These companies are not shipping a product until the payment clears on your credit card. Pre Paid stops all that. Make sure you have no more than 25 dollars on the card.

OK guys. When unsubscribing, either by livechat OR phone. Be sure to cancel
Acai-Burn Max
Insider Secrets
Ebook package.

They're all seperate charges. I had one live chat ASSURING me that i would not recieve any more charges after i cancelled Acai-Burn Max. I then later asked another live chat 'Am i subscribed to Insider secrets and ebook package', and they said yes.

I got it (i'm not convinced it's human) to cancel those two fees too, and it, like the one before, is now assuring me that i won't recieve any more charges for anything...

I'm calling tomorrow to double check. Best of luck guys.

HUGH SCAM!

get tossed around to call different phone numbers

get charged $70

get signed up for some weird programs you have never heard of and they make it super hard to cancel.

your info gets passed to affiliate companies and you get charged by them

people couldnt answer any questions about acai burn over the phone

horrible customer service.

get charged monthly fees by unknown companies that claim you have signed up for their services.

on top of all this it doesnt do anything but upset your stomach.

DO NOT TRY FREE ACAI BURN
