Visa group president, William Sheedy stated that as a result of chronic complaints from its customers, Visa has shut down acai accounts of over hundred merchants who used deceptive marketing techniques to trick customers and swindle money from their accounts. They use negative option to sign up the customers for forced continuity products.

Though negative option like this is not illegal, they need to be upfront about the charges. However, this is not the case with most of these scamming companies. who deliberately hide the cost and other terms and conditions. What is in limelight is only their offering a free (read false!) acai trial.

The acai scams have actually been helped by the media. The huge media coverage given to these scams made acai more popular than it ever was. This sudden and huge rush for acai products accelerated the scams. There are very few legitimate acai sellers online when compared to the faulty ones. However, this wise step by Visa aims to help them and the customers. Customers too can play a vital role in curbing these monsters by avoiding free acai trials.

There’s plenty to learn about acai, and hopefully some of these articles will set you in the right direction.
