The FTC is warning against the AcaiPure diet that is being advertised on TV, radio and the Internet. This Acai diet scam is using fake Oprah Winfrey and Rachel Ray endorsements. The ad claims that consumers can take advantage of a "risk-free trial" by paying a small 99 cent shipping charge. After consumers sign up for the trials, their credit cards are illegally charged numerous times. The diet is also a scam in that there is no evidence that acai berries will promote weight loss. The ad claims that users of the product have lost 25-30 pounds in the first month alone. The acai berry is actually an anti-oxidant, not a weight loss promoter.
Over 2,800 complaints have been filed with law enforcement agencies and the BBB against Central Coast Nutraceuticals Inc. since 2007. To learn more about the AcaiPure diet scam and how to avoid getting ripped off by it, visit UPI.com.
