AcaiBurn will Burn your Wallet

Don't waste your money on your waist.

AcaiBurn is a new miricle pill that you take once before breakfast and once before dinner to shed those unwanted pounds. At least that is what the website (http://www.acaiburn.com) and numerous ads currently found on the internet will tell you.

If you google weight loss or, just about anything these days, there will be some link or ad for the amazing weight loss properties of the Acai berry found in the Amazon. A 14-day free trial is the draw for most people, but they don't realize what they are getting themselves and their wallets into.

I don't think that AcaiBurn will hurt you, I do belive it is high in antioxidants, but you can find these properties at your local GNC and not be enrolled in an auto-shipment program, and not be signed up for multiple other fees without even realizing it!!

If you sign-up with one of these programs you will get a 30-day supply and only be charged $4.95 for shipping and handling. Then on the 21st day they will charge your credit card an additional $59.95, and they will continue to send you AcaiBurn pills and charge you $59.95 until you jump through all their hoops to cancel your membership and get your money refunded. These hoops will cost you money. You will never get that $4.95 back, and you will have to spend at least that to return the product you get if you want a refund of your $59.95, more if you don't cancel and return right away.

The way it works if you order and they charge you, your pills arive 4-7 business days after you've ordered and been charged. Your free 14-day trial starts the day you order. Regardless of whether you call and cancel before your 14-day trial or not, you will be charged $59.95 on the 21st day after you order. If you send the product back (insured), you will ultimately be refunded your $59.95, but you may have to call, wait on hold, and talk to a not very helpful customer service person a couple times before you are successful in getting that refund (be sure to keep your tracking number for your return)!

My suggestion is to cancel any AciaBurn product you may have ordered and ask for a refund on the phone when you cancel. They won't offer it, and you need the return shipping address they give you to be successful in getting your refund.

Other things to beware of are the hidden items that you may have signed-up for thinking they were free. Items like Credit Report America, and Fraud Prevention, and the Comprehensive Weight Loss e-book, or Insider Secrets. All of these items have costs associated with them ranging from $4.95/mo to $19.95/mo. The first month is free and then all of a sudden you start getting charges.

I'm sorry I can't help you cancel your memberships in these programs, here are some helpful phone numbers you'll want to use to cancel if you are trapped in any of these scams (ALWAYS ASK FOR TO CANCEL AND FOR A REFUND, THEY WILL NOT OFFER A REFUND IF YOU DON'T ASK):

Comprehensive Weight Loss (CWL e-book) 1-800-989-5907

Credit Report America 1-800-712-7224

Fraud Protection Resource Center 1866-387-2521

Article was helpful. I just called and cancelled everything without a problem and am sending free trial back unopened. The phone number for Insider Secrets is 866-363-0187. The number you have listed is a woman in Georgia who is getting a lot of calls.

Want to share a free website that will assist in weight loss efforts. It's sparkpeople.com.

Cathy,

Thanks for the feedback. I was going to remove the Insider Secrets number due to your note about it being for a woman in Georgia. I certainly don't want to be responsible for giving out an incorrect phone number and harassing an innocent person as a result. However, I just called the 1-866-363-0187 phone number and I did get the recording for Insider Secrets, so I'm going to leave the number in the article.

Thanks for the above article. These AcaiBurn people have been a nightmare for me, and I am still in the process of trying to get my money back, even though I jumped trough all their hoops and cancelled as soon as I realized it was a fraud.

I have to add, however, that I had a terrible headache the whole time I was taking the pills. It took a while for me to realize that the AcaiBurn was causing the headaches because my job is very stressful. However, as soon as I stopped the AcaiBurn, my headache disappeared.

In addition, it is not always easy to get to the post office and do all that certified, insured mail business AcaiBurn demands. (The tablets did not come to me certified, but they had to be returned that way..) I am somewhat suspicious that my bottle may have been a recycled product, and think that is why they are so adamant that you return the unused pills__so, they can send them out again to some other poor soul.

Another note: The only sure fire way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more, so I am sorry to admit I got conned by these scam artists. I love to exercise but eating less is difficult.

Respectfully from Texas

I've done a lot more research and found Acai without the "burn." All the positive talk about the Acai berry and its great anti-oxidant super-food properties is not hype. It is true, but there are ways to take advantage of the benefits without getting tied up with AcaiBurn.

Mona Vie is a company that harvests, produces and sells beverages and gels that are equivalent to six fruit servings per 2 oz. serving. AND it tastes great. Mona Vie can't be sold as a cure or treatment for anything, but it is sold as a food and delivered in what looks like a wine bottle. It's not the cheapest product out there, but I've paid more for a bottle of wine that was gone in an hour than you pay for a bottle of Mona Vie which should last about a week.

You can probably find someone selling Mona Vie in your area, or you can buy it online. If you sign-up for an auto-ship program you get a 15% discount and you can also choose to be a distributor yourself. This doesn't mean that you have to sell it, but if you do and you set yourself up as a distributor on an auto-ship program you could earn money from people doing the same as you down the line. It all seemed really complicated to me when I first looked at it, but I loved the taste of the product and I believe all the press out there (Oprah, Fortune, Fox, the list goes on). I'm horrible about taking vitamins and I do believe that your body often doesn't absorb them. I decided that Mona Vie (2 oz. before breakfast and 2 oz. before dinner every day) was a good solution to improving my diet and that along with regular exercise would likely result in my shedding some pounds (I'll let you know how that goes).

Anyway you can sign-up to be a Mona Vie distributor in February (2009) for free. There is normally a $39 fee. They'll send you starter literature. Of course you will need to buy Mona Vie and sell Mona Vie if you want to earn money from it. However, if you just want to try it, you might as well sign-up as a distributor cause it is free. If you never sell it, no harm done. Unlike Acai Burn, you have complete control over your auto-ship program and can cancel it yourself anytime without having to call some unhelpful person!!! And there are no hidden programs that you get signed up for.

The stuff tastes GREAT!!!! I could drink a whole bottle in an hour!.

Anyway, if you decide you want to take advantage of the February free sign-up deal, you will need a rep number as a referral to enrol, or to just buy the stuff. Please use mine........ 1791264 Just go to Mona Vie dot com.

Enjoy Health and Wealth

Be Grateful & Always be Kind!

THANK YOU for the contact phone numbers. I have experienced exactly what your article states. The ebook will not refund my card... on top of the "membership" fees I was charged transaction & foreign transaction fees from my bank. The Acaiburn will refund me once they receive my return. I received 3 bottles of Acaiburn in the mail today! The webpage does not mention auto delivery of 3 bottles at a time.

This is a very imformative article. I have heard of the acai burn but never tried it. As an active monavie distributor I get all my acai from monavie. As far as Marry v diggins getting headaches, when I first started drinking monavie I experienced headaches for about 5 days and after that they were gone and I felt fine.After reserching the reason I realised that the acai berry being as strong of an antioxidant as it is, it is just mere effects of the body detoxin. Which is actually a good thing. But as far as the rest of the problems that you seem to be having with the acai burn,I would run.

David,

Nice to meet another MonaVie distributor, the juice is really changing lives and I am so glad to be part of it.

I haven't had any headaches, but I do thing that MonaVie puts the body into a detox mode. I've noticed a couple pimples on my otherwise much smoother and softer face. Nothing bad and may not be related, but I do feel like my body is purging itself of toxins. I just keep feeling better and better!!!

Anyone reading this, if you aren't drinking MonaVie, find a way to start!! Find someone locally that will invite you to a tasting or order a bottle off my site www.mymonavie.com/sukarama. I don't care where you get it, just get it and stick with it, it is for your health. Don't tell me you are already eating 7-9 servings of fruit like any doctor will recommend you do. If you are great, but I don't know anyone who does unless they are drinking MonaVie. Get good nutrition, and stay healthy!!!

HI. If only I read this before ordering my free trial acaiburn. They have charged me with foreign transactions fees and my bank confirms that it was from acaiburn. The customer representative (Kathy) I chatted with thru acaiburn site just told me to check with my bank because these were 3% bank fees for each debit from acaiburn. They don't tell you about the additional charges. Also, I started to have SEVERE HEADACHES (right side) everyday eversince I started taking it. Once I stopped, the headache was gone. Hope this helps somebody.

The problem is that people like yourselves freely give out their credit card information without reading the terms and conditions that you are agreeing to. You are entering into a LEGAL contract and yet you have chosen not to READ! DO NOT give out any billing info to ANYONE until you READ the terms!

DO NOT buy this product. I am from New Zealand and the numbers don't work either. The only thing I could do is call my bank. They are sending out some dispute forms and will try to contact the other bank that my money is going to and stop it. This is the only way as just cancelling your credit card does not mean I won't be charged. My bank will still want me to pay the bill because I authorised acaiburn and affiliated companies to do so. Utter utter crap. These people really are the lowest of low scum.

Do you have the address for Acaiburn where I can send mine back? This just happened to me and I was really pissed. But I don't have the address to send it back to. So, if you could let me know, that would be helpful! Thanks!

I feel soooo ashamed of myself! How could I have been fooled? The debits hitting my account are unimaginable! You can use their live chat to cancel your orders. http://www.acaiburn.com/contactus.php.

This is clearly a rip offf! The so-called FREE TRIAL terms and conditions hide the fact that ure signing on to 3months 'subsidized' subscriptions...as well as membership for 'ebooks'

This is sooooo upsetting!

If you could please tell me how to cancel this product it would be very much appreciated because i do not wish to recieve this product. thanks

I WAS CHARGED 59.95 TO MY VISA DEBIT CARD WITHOUT ME GIVING PERMISSION AND I WANT MY MONEY PUT BACK ON MY CARD AND TO CANCEL EVERYTHING. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED. ANITA (NC)

Suka Rama  says:

Anita,

Call them and tell them that and ask for the return address to send your product to, that is the only way you'll get your refund. Or tell them you never received the product and were charged and you want to cancel and get a refund. That is all the advice I can provide.

All,

I'm not sure if AcaiburnPremium will be the same company you ordered from if you are suffering dissatisfaction, but it does appear that this hub has gotten the attention of at least one of these online Acaiburn companies and they are trying to provide information to help you resolve any issues you have. Please try the number Linda has provided 1-888-591-2190. Linda, is this the same number that people outside the U.S. should call?

i think suka rama is a sales person. who by discrediting one scam company promotes yet another one. if not exactly the same company just under a different name.lol. i do empathise with people who have been ripped off but i just don't get the one who spends time posting info. i so do not suck up to all the bs on acaiburn as well as monavie and acaiburn premium. i just think all these products are bs. hit the gym, eat healthy, drink lots of water, have enough sleep. that will give you results that last. not the quick fix bs offered by these miracle bs supplemnets.
