Police Have Begun To Investigate The Scams

Jackson police Cpl. Andy Pearson said several individuals called the department during the past several weeks complaining of not being able to cancel charges from Internet companies selling Acai berry health supplements and technology products.

“People think they’re buying legitimate products, and then they have trouble cancelling these recurring charges on their credit cards,” Pearson said. “A con man can easily drag his feet through another billing cycle to get some more money out of people.”

In another possible scam, people who made a purchase on the Google Treasure Chest Web site reported unwanted recurring charges for various “services” that are detailed in the Web site’s terms and conditions.

The Web site offers a kit for a minimal price that is supposed to show buyers how to make money at home by doing simple work on the Internet.
Pearson said the problem with these types of Web sites is that they appear to be legitimate and often do provide a service or product.

When police began to investigate the claims, which came from residents of states as far away as California, they found the two companies selling Acai berry supplements and technology products have the same local address as Google Treasure Chest.

Police also found they weren’t the only ones looking into the three companies, Pearson said.

“When I went to check on the mailbox, I found out the FTC and several attorneys general were looking into it and I backed off,” Pearson said. “Now, we’re just directing everyone who calls in about it to call the FTC. They don’t have the jurisdictional problems we would have with a case like this.”
A spokesman from the FTC said the agency is unable to comment on any ongoing investigations.

Mark Moran, special assistant to Wyoming’s attorney general, said his office was unaware of any specific complaints about any of the three companies.
Moran said he had recently followed up with Google Treasure Chest on his own after receiving an e-mail from the company.

He said he sent a letter to the address listed, requesting more information about the company.

Its Now The Green Tea Scam

Hi

We have now found that one of the companies involved in the acai scam is now using the same tactics with green tea. They are using the free trial offer first for $4.95 and if you do not respond to that they will reduce it down to $1.95. If you are an international customer you will find the price will jump up by $20.00 so your $1.95 trial now becomes $21.95 after you agree to pay.

Once your 14 day trial is over you will be charged $59.95 a month and lets not forget the other two payments of $4.95 for Internet access and$9.95 for membership. Can’t you remember seeing them on the site and mentioned with your free trial. Oh dear silly you, you should have checked the terms and conditions. One other cost if you are a international customer will probably another $20.00.

The company is, wait for it  Drum roll

wu-yisource.com

your total monthly cost will be $74.85

Help us to find more companies so we can warn others.

Acai Scam Exposed – Read now before you get scammed

Hi dear reader.

The acai berry and its many different forms are one of the super foods of all time.

The acai has come to the publics notice even more so now due to it being featured on the Oprah Winfrey show. This is truly a super food of the twenty first century from the days of old, before man was man and had probably eaten this acai fruit as an ape.

There are so many benefits that you can get out of the acai berry that every person should have free access to it. It would save the world so much money it would be unbelievable.

The acai has so many beneficial properties that is should be put on everyone’s shopping list.

- A full range of powerful, toxin-fighting antioxidants that will help cleanse your body

- Full of vitamins B, C and E to keep your healthy all winter long

- Plenty of calcium for strong bones

- Natural dietary fibre to help you lose weight and keep your blood sugar low

- Soluble fibre which can help you detoxify your entire system.

- Heart healthy oleic acid which can help you to feel and look younger

The healthy fats found within acai also have great effects upon cholesterol levels by helping to raise healthy HDL levels, while lowering potentially harmful LDL cholesterol.

Why is it when something this good is found in this world that so many people want to find reasons why you should not use it or worse still exploit the people who want this great product.
