Many companies sell an acai berry supplement as a natural weight loss supplement. Before buying a product from any business offering this supplement, a consumer should check with the Better Business Bureau to find out the reputation of any vendors selling this supplement on the radio, television shows, or over the Internet. Checking with the BBB helps a consumer avoid purchasing an acai berry supplement from a company that has a large number of complaints against it.
If an individual decides to purchase from an online company or from an advertisement, be sure to read the terms of the agreement. Some of the acai berry vendors sign a person up for more than one subscription or will send new products before the trial period ends. Reading the terms of the acai berry free trial agreement carefully lets a customer know exactly what he or she has signed up for.
Even if the proper precautions are taken, an individual may still find that he is the victim of a scam. Many companies that offer free acai berry trials make the trials difficult to cancel. Some of these companies will charge customer credit cards before the end of the free trial period or will continue charging a credit card even after a person cancels the company’s free trial.
The most common tactic that fraudulent companies use to prevent people from canceling free acai berry trials is to make the process of contacting customer service difficult. If you keep trying the phone numbers, you will eventually get through to someone who can help you. Repeated calls to company’s customer service department may be necessary. Even if a customer gets through to a representative, there is no guarantee that your attempt to cancel the product will be successful.
If a customer has fallen victim to a free trial acai berry scam, he may not be able to cancel the trial directly. A consumer should contact the bank who issued his credit card and get them to stop payments. If the charges continue, he may have to cancel the credit card that the supplement company bills.
Your bank will not refund these charges, but they will help you if the charges continue. It may involve opening a new checking or a new savings account, if the company has been given your bank account number. A consumer should never give out his savings or checking account number to a third party whom he does not trust. Most banks will stop a company from making future fraudulent charges from the same company if unwanted charges continue.
If you cannot find a way to cancel your free acai berry trial either by contacting the company or with the help from a bank, legal action may be necessary. File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Collect all the receipts and information you have from the company and seek out legal advice. A consumer may be able to recover the money he lost by agreeing to an acai berry free trial and finally cancel the unwanted trial to the product.
