Incorrect CXL phone number & free trial scam
PURE ACAI BERRY PRO - I CAN HELP YOU!
1-866-938-4832 IS A SCAM! TO GET THE REAL CXL #
YOU MUST HAVE THE PACKING SLIP OR READ THE PHONE NUMBER ON MINE AT THE END OF MY POST.
I think I can help some of you as I started off getting scammed and ended up with getting a break which not many people report succeeding with however it may be do to the company I went through.
First it's clear that the free trial is a scam with all the companies because there is not enough time to recieve the product, try it a few days and return the unused portion within 14 days of the order date. Worse yet some of them lock you into a three month deal. Unless you succeeded at returning it on time you will be charged and it explains so in the small print under tems and agreements so there is nothing you can do but bite it.
There are different compainies selling different types of Acai Berry products so you need to know where you ordered from...For example I just read an article that was saying not all types work and rated Acai Burn first, Acai Pure second and Pure Acai Berry pro third although they where all using the Oprah and Rachel ray claims even though they where selling different products.
Here is what happend and how I ended up getting some of mymoney back. I bought Pure Acai Berry Pro from www.buypureacaiberry.com. When I completed the order I wrote down on my calandar the phone number indicated to cxl wich was 1-866-938-4832 and the Order number. I missed the 14 day limit but needed to cancel future shipments and at the time I did not have the packaging slip so I used the info. above. The lady said that they did not have Order #'s that where like mine and she was unable to verify by using my name, phone number or e-mail and said she could not use the address. She said there was nothing she could do and used the excuse that other companies where selling these pills so I must have the wrong people even though I got the number and order number from writing it down from the website I ordered from. At this point I knew I had been scammed and I got online and googled the phone # and product name in which I saw many websites all stating that the phone number was accociated with a scam. Many people are having this happen and then they have no way to cancel the outragous price of future orders. If this is you then I have info. to help.
I got lucky and found my packing slip or else the info I wrote down when ordering would not help at all do to it being a scam.
I remember thinking when the order came that I didn't need the slip because I had wrote the cxl phone number and my order number on the calandar. I am sure many others did this too and threw it away. If you ordered the Pure Acai Berry Pro then this is the real phone number to cxl.
1-866-964-1011
But wait and keep reading! Today is Feb. 9th. I tried to cxl and the man insisted on selling me more...so frustrating but I remained decent and kept saying no. Finally he offered me a different offer than the previous two and said I was lucky to be calling today because they just got a new offer to sell future bottles at $18.81 + $4.99 S&H and GET THIS...he would refund $60.00 from my first bottle price which cost $83.80 which ment I would be paying only ($23.81 x 2) $47.62 instead of $83.80 and getting twice the product. All I had to commit to was paying $23.81 x 2 which included the price of the first "free trial bottle" and the second bottle. I can cancel when I recieve the second bottle or keep buying at the reduced price but I will cancel.
I messed up by getting scammed but I found the correct number to cancel that is on the packaging slip not what they give you on the ordering site. Further more though it's another hasstle to call and try and cxl again and deel with the haggling I will CXL when I get the second bottle and it will end up being $36.00 cheaper than had I canceled after the first bottle. Sounds to good to be true but I guess they are counting on me forgetting to CXL. I cannot verify yet if they will truly refund the $60.00 as promiced off the price of the first bottle.
I reiderated the details step by step at least 4 times and got the mans name which was David and he gave me a confimation number so I hope this works out to my advantage since the free trial scam already burned me and I hope this might help anyone who is trying to find the real CXL phone # for this product. Best of luck to ya!

Fraudulent Charges and Undigestible ingredients
This company fraudulently charges your credit card. I signed up on the 27th of January. I received the Pure Acai Berry (have not received total cleanse yet) and I called to cancel my account. The first person I spoke to said I could not cancel until the 10th of Feb.?? By then the trial period would be over. While I was on the phone with them they pinged my Credit card account with TWO $1.00 charges. I used a credit card that did not have much money on it..or I'd probably be complaining about the 80 dollar charges as other are.
I called back again to ask why they pinged my account and that I wanted to CANCEL. They gave me some BS confirmation number. It is my order number with an RM in front of it...and said I have to mail the product back. I just opened it and what about the 14 day trial?? So I pay money and can't use it and have to pay to ship it back? I don't think so. Then they send you a 30 day supply instead of the 14 day supply because they try to HOOK you in. You can only take 14 days worth and if you don't want it you have to PAY to send the remainder back! When I was on the phone he was trying to get me to commit to only having to pay 20 dollars a bottle! This is what my charge card statement looks like as of yesterday.
Ok, I just pulled my online Credit card account again. The pending I had earlier was for ONE acai charge and ONE total cleanse charge and the TWO one dollar pings. They doubled it. I will copy and paste. 01/27/2009 pending EASYBODYDETOXONLINE $5.95
01/27/2009 pending MY ACAI OFFER $4.99
01/27/2009 pending EASYBODYDETOXONLINE $5.95
01/27/2009 pending MY ACAI OFFER $4.99
01/30/2009 pending UMG*SERVICES $1.00
01/30/2009 pending UMG*SERVICES $1.00
Down below I did more research on the ingredients. Not only are they stealing our money we are not even getting a PURE product as the label states!
WHAT about AOL, MYSPACE etc..that has their advertisements all over the place. They need to PULL these advertisements out. THESE testimonials are FAKE!! Look at HELEN MILLER in bradenton..a blonde mom..take off the end url and it is another HELEN MILLER dark hair boasting about the white tea.. This company is going under several names and uses the same order number to pull money out of your account!! WE NEED TO PULL TOGETHER and STOP THIS!!
************ PLEASE READ THIS ********************** I just looked up the ingredients in my bottle of PURE Acai Berry.. An Advanced Wellness Research Product. Here are the ingredients.
*acai berry juice powder 1200mg *... this has the asterisk. Now I go to the ASTERISK on the side and it says this. THESE STATEMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN EVALUATED BY THE FDA. THIS PRODUCK IS NOT INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE, CURE, TREAT OR PREVENT ANY DISEASE, BUT IS RATHER A DIETARY SUPPLEMENT INTENDED FOR NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT.
* Daily value not established.
Here are the OTHER ingredients: Gelatin, cellulose, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide.
CELLULOSE is NOT digestible by humans!!!
Here are some definitions and links to the sites where it comes from. Do your own google search too!
CELLULOSE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose
Cellulose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Cellulose, a linear polymer of D-glucose units (two are shown) linked by β(1→4)-glycosidic bonds.
Three-dimensional structure of cellulose, with four glucose units visible. (Black=carbon; red=oxygen; white=hydrogen.)
Space-filling model of cellulose, with four glucose units visible.
Cellulose is an organic compound with the formula (C6H12O6)n, a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to over ten thousand β(1→4) linked D-glucose units.[1][2]
Cellulose is the structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants, many forms of algae and the oomycetes. Some species of bacteria secrete it to form biofilms. Cellulose is the most common organic compound on Earth. About 33 percent of all plant matter is cellulose (the cellulose content of cotton is 90 percent and that of wood is 50 percent).[3]
For industrial use, cellulose is mainly obtained from wood pulp and cotton. It is mainly used to produce cardboard and paper; to a smaller extent it is converted into a wide variety of derivative products such as cellophane and rayon. Converting cellulose from energy crops into biofuels such as cellulosic ethanol is under investigation as an alternative fuel source.
Some animals, particularly ruminants and termites, can digest cellulose with the help of symbiotic micro-organisms that live in their guts. Cellulose is not digestible by humans and is often referred to as 'dietary fiber' or 'roughage', acting as a hydrophilic bulking agent for feces.
Magnesium stearate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_stearate
Magnesium stearate, also called octadecanoic acid, magnesium salt, is a white substance which is solid at room temperature. It has the chemical formula Mg(C18H35O2)2. It is a salt containing two equivalents of stearate (the anion of stearic acid) and one magnesium cation (Mg2+). Magnesium stearate melts at about 88 °C, is not soluble in water, and is generally considered safe for human consumption. Because it is widely regarded as harmless, it is often used as a filling agent in the manufacture of medical tablets and capsules. In this regard, the substance is also useful because it has lubricating properties, preventing ingredients from sticking to manufacturing equipment during the compression of chemical powders into solid tablets. It is used to bind sugar in hard candies. It is also a common ingredient in baby formulas. In pure powder form, the substance can be a dust explosion hazard, although this issue is effectively insignificant beyond the manufacturing plants using it.
When used as a filling agent in the manufacture of capsules and tablets, such as vitamins, the source of this ingredient is typically bovine. However, there is an increasing number of vegetarian options in which the product specifically indicates it contains magnesium stearate from vegetable sources.
Magnesium stearate is a major component of "bathtub rings". When produced by soap and hard water, magnesium stearate and calcium stearate both form a white solid insoluble in water, and are collectively known as "soap scum".
Silicon dioxide: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silica
The chemical compound silicon dioxide, also known as silica (from the Latin silex), is an oxide of silicon with a chemical formula of SiO2 and has been known for its hardness since antiquity.[1] Silica is most commonly found in nature as sand or quartz, as well as in the cell walls of diatoms. It is a principal component of most types of glass and substances such as concrete. Silica is the most abundant mineral in the earth's crust.
IS THIS STUFF SAFE..? NOT DIGESTIBLE BY HUMANS? THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND I WOULD BE CAUTIOUS OF TAKING SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
I took it twice and each time i felt sick to my stomach!
Please pass this information along... I know better I should of educated myself before I made this STUPID purchase! I was looking and thinking acai berry..not a bunch of crap that is not digestible and a BIG MONEY STEALING company stealing funds out of my credit card account! These people should HANG for this!!! SHAME ON THEM!! The state needs to step in and the internet and shut these people down. OPRAH, RACHAEL RAY and CNN need to put disclaimers on their sites that they do not endorse this type of activity! This is WRONG!
