Mods, aside from this poster making assertions he doesn't even try to support with crediable data and directly herds readers to links to online sellers he claims will give people a better price, please note this information about consumer complaints and credit card fraud with online acai peddlers from the Better Busines Bureau:
Quote:
“BBB can’t speak to the restorative or weight loss properties of acai-based products, but we are taking companies to task for their misleading sales and marketing practices,” Steve Cox, BBB spokesperson, said in a statement recently. “Many businesses across the country are using the same selling model for their acai products: they lure customers in with celebrity endorsements and free trial offers, and then lock them in by making it extremely difficult to cancel the automatic delivery of more acai products every month.”
The BBB named two companies at the time, FX Supplements, in Fort Worth, Texas, and Central Coast Nutraceuticals in Arizona as bad players in the industry. Complaints ranged from difficulty canceling subscriptions and being forced to close bank accounts and cancel credit cards to stop recurring charges.
The Arizona AG recently announced a $1,375,000 settlement with Central Coast Nutraceuticals and its owner, Graham Gibson, of Phoenix. The settlement resolved a consumer fraud lawsuit that alleged deceptive online sales practices by CCN.
