This just gets deeper and deeper as I research it. I have a real thing against scams. I hate people who rip off innocent unaware consumers. You may say, “well they deserve it, they should pay better attention.”
I work with many older folks who do not really know how much they are the target of these sleazy dirtbags.
They get phone calls from rip off artists who prey on their loneliness, they get these “free” offers and innocently sign up, losing control of their credit card numbers and getting charged for nothing each month.
Stories just like this are all over the internet.

I do not understand why this company and others like it are not getting shut down.
After I used my visa to pay the $3.95 shipping and handling for my ‘free trial bottle’ of Acie Berry Power 500, I discovered a consumer complaint online about how the company kept billing her credit card $89.31 a month after the shipping charge, and they would not refund her for returning unopened packages either.

Then, I opened the ‘Terms & Conditions’ link at the Acai Berry Power 500 website and saw with my own eyes what is about to happen to my credit card. You can bet I’ll be on the phone tomorrow during business hours to cancel, but the line will probably be busy or keep me on hold for two hours – there go those peak cell minutes in a hurry!

Here is a pasted copy of the Terms & Conditions:

…by ordering Extreme Acai Berry, I am agreeing to receive Extreme Acai Berry for a free 14-day trial period (days of availability for actual usage could be less depending on shipping time) beginning on date of order. $3.95 (non-refundable) for S&P. I understand that unless I cancel by calling 1-801-208-7485 within this 14-day period, beginning on the 14th day my credit card will automatically be charged $89.31 (Free Shipping) for a 31 day supply of Extreme Acai Berry to be shipped at that time to my door.

Thereafter, until and unless I cancel, my credit card will automatically be charged an additional $89.31 every 31 days for a new supply of Extreme Acai Berry. I understand that I may cancel any future shipments Monday through Friday by calling 1-801-208-7485. Our hours of operation are from 8am to 5pm MST.

We do not accept returns on any products that have been shipped.

I feel so stupid! I’ve been dieting and reading about the benefits of the Acai berry from Brazil. Oprah endorses the Acai berry, so how can it be bad?? Dishonest marketing and misleading sales of the product is how. Oprah, you should warn your audiences!

If I have any trouble canceling this order, I’m filing my next complaint with the Consumer Protection Agency and filing a dispute with my visa credit card too.

Just visit

and do a search for acai berry.
My biggest complaint right now is still all the fake diet blogs and fake ads that are on every single website right now, even Drudge! ( and he hardly lets any ads on there!) and all the ugly fat stomach and stretch marks ads. I have now noticed more of the exact same ads for various other products popping up.
Someone is doing this, some company is putting all this together. WHO IS IT?
Who pays google to run these ads. Come on someone , leave me a comment and lets get the name out there who is the mastermind behind this sick acai berry, and other completely fake products out there.
Someone is paying the people at the lab, and running all the fake diet blogs and paying the fake people in the photos.
WHO IS IT??

Here is what I got off the BBB.

FWM Labs, Acai Berry Scammers

File your complaint with the BBB here.

F rating Acai Berry FWM Labs Florida BBB

Does not get much lower then this. These guys just don’t sell rip off Acai Berry, they sell other fake products.

Who is behind those ugly disgusting fat stomach ads?
These “flat stomach rule” weight loss ads are making me furious!
I decided to do a little sleuthing and find out.
I hate these ads, they are so ugly and they are on every website I visit!
I am not kidding, websites I have previously found easy to use and on the more
shall we say classy side are being ruined by these ads. While I am reading world news
there on the side is a big horrible distorted photo of stomachs and it is gross!
Really gross.

Here is another FAKE MODEL who is on http://beverlysdietblog.com/?p=8&cpage=7#comment-317

• About Me

  

  Just a catalog model who does not own the rights to her photo.

  My name is Beverly Long and I was born and raised in California. I tried every diet out there before finally finding the perfect one!

  I Shed 34 Pounds In 40 Days With a 2-Step Diet

  My FAKE Struggle- Nice job of ad writing by scammers!
  

  Hi! I’m Beverly Long ( fake unknown model photos) from California (NOT) and I am a full-time mom with 2 amazing kids. If I would have known how hard two kids were, I may have stopped at 1!! I love my kids, but miss the body I used to have before them. I don’t have much time for myself, but the time I do have, I eat I am always on the move so eating healthy is difficult. I try to organize my life around my health, but you know as well as I how hard this can be. Needless to say I don’t have any time to work out. I have a gym membership that I use about twice a month, (who am I kidding, im lucky to go once) what a waste of money. bla bla bla, fake fake fake. If you google any part of this fake testiimony ad, you will pull up all the fake “Sue, Karen, Jenny, Becky and more FAKE blogs.”

Then they say “as seen on Rachel Ray” . Oh really when was this on Rachel Ray?
You mean you bought a spot on her T.V show? I somehow seriously doubt Rachael Ray endorses this
disgusting ad. Of course I still have no idea who owns this company and what exactly do they sell?
Since I never click the ad, and I try not to look at it.
After being assaulted by these ads for months now I am furious.
I use an ad blocker, but these are not pop up’s so they are still there.
When I googled “I hate these fat stomach ads” I got an interesting assortment of results.
Many diet forums had people complaining that these ads upset them.
I had not even considered that possibility. Various forms of the ads say ” ARE YOU FAT?”
Which is rude and offensive. Then to have to stare at that butt ugly photo while you are in
a support forum could be upsetting.
For me these photos are like a day at Great America, where I
avert my eyes from the women that should never be wearing crop tops and stretch pants,
who have their rolls hanging over their pants.
This is something I have never understood. First it looks so uncomfortable and second
do they really think this is attractive?
I digress. These ads also make me lose my appetite. (maybe that would could be a diet aid?)
I won’t even watch plastic surgery on the T.V, it makes me sick.
I think society today reveals way too much.
What happened to the mystery of the human body?
I don’t want to see all this, really I don’t.
Now I see this company (who may behind all of these ads, since FL is listed as the place in many whois)

Natural Source Store. LLC
6565 Taft Street, Suite 204
Hollywood, FL 33024

Is also behind these gross “removemystretchmarks.com” product.
I looked up who owned that website and it was a guy in Canada

He is just another shill for this companies MLM scheme.
Do not buy these products! Nothing but plastic surgery can get rid of stretched and damage skin. I hate seeing so many people falling for all these scams. This product cosmetyn is no good.
It should be illegal for companies that buy a crappy ad is the BACK of major magazines to be able to say
“see us in Lucky or Glamor or Redbook” yeah see them in the back in the paid classifieds.

So I looked up MonicasDietBlog.com. on whois and of course it has paid privacy settings.

Then I noticed that is says Monica Conrad under one place and Monica Coyle right next to that!!
Hello, get your name right, but no why do that since it is FAKE anyway!
Next I did a search on some images and guess what I found, why I found Monica Coyle/Conrad turned into
Becky! Yes Becky Edwards and she has the exact same blog? Wow. Then Jenny Conrad, and then I found
http://danasdietdiary.com/, same set up, well you get the picture. Here is a sample for you.
Now it was getting interesting, guess what popped up next the same template for the blog but this one is called
megansdatingblog.com, now I am thinking who is running this entire thing, templates and multiple products?
This is driving me crazy now. I must find out who is behind these blog templates and more.
Anyone out there know?

Back to the acai scam….
I looked up the stuff they are trying to sell you which if you do not know by now is all a big scam! Avoid at all costs, this is just anoher MLM, (multi level marketing) scam.

It is a MLM scheme (as usual) and guess what when you click
the recommended products on “MonicasDietBlog” you get this www.life-cleanse.com,
who also seem to share the same whois privacy information!

Now interestingly as I continued to dig, I found on the terms and conditions page a web address buried in there where you could email to discontinue getting emails from them.
This looks like where they must manufacture the bogus scam product Acai Berry diet extract aid whatever they call it.
Yet again, you really can’t contact anyone or discover WHO OWNS THIS and who is running this scam.
Because when this much secretive cover goes into a product, you can bet it is a total SCAM!
I called one of the 800 numbers and got these guys, fwm.labs adn they are located in , you guessed it, FL!

Anyway, it just got bigger and deeper so I found this guys blog about it and he has really got some great stuff on there,
all the fake photos, and names and it is great, go and check him out.
http://wafflesatnoon.com/2009/01/29/acai-cleanse-scams-update/
He also compiled a fantastic “The Fake Diet Girls” photo album. I love it! The photos I posted have many other fake names.
Just to let you know, this is a huge scam, do not buy anything from these sites and these are not real people
they are paid models or actors and please please be careful out there. The internet is rife with criminals who have blossomed online.
Many of these scams are run from Russia and Nigeria and Belgium.
They aren’t even in the U.S and if you get taken the authorities here can’t do anything for you.
I will post more later after I do more investigation.
Read some more reports on people RIPPED off by this whole acai berry scam.

http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/372/RipOff0372878.htm

Here is a sample from all the complaints.
Nubodi Inc., Acai berry 500, and Wellness Watchers MD – all crooks.

The complaint I filed with the Better Business Bureau in Florida attempted to negotiate with Nubodi, and imagine this – Nubodi reported they had never done business with me, they say they did not share my information with Wellness Watchers MD, and if I would just ’send them my personal information and credit card numbers again’ then they will try to find me in their system. Ha! What a laugh!

The BBB should be ashamed to even negotiate such scandalous requests when they know what kind of people they’re dealing with (BBB gave this company a grade of ‘F’ on their website).

I also alerted the Chamber of Commerce in Davie, Florida to the scandalous activities of Nubodi and Wellness Watchers, and the Davie Chamber of Commerce was kind enough to call me. The gentleman there informed me that the telephone number for Nubodi: 801-208-7485 is NOT even a Florida telephone number, but the address they are using: 4650 SW 51st Street, Suite 711, Davie, Florida 33314 – IS an actual address.

Soon after my conversation with the helpful gentleman at the Davie Chamber of Commerce, a woman from Oregon called me to say that the she was given my number by the Davie Chamber of Commerce as another person who had been scammed by Nubodi’s Acai berry scam, and I told this lady to beware of Wellness Watchers MD too. Unfortunately for this lady in Oregon, she purchased the products with her debit card, so the money is gone from her bank account forever, and I doubt that she’ll see it back again. I encouraged her to close her account so that they can’t get at any more of her hard earned cash.

I sincerely wish that someone out there would go after these people – Nubodi and Wellness Watchers MD – and put them behind bars. They are getting rich off of a lot of unsuspecting health conscious people.

The thing that is driving me crazy is who owns these companies. Who is the guy in charge.
I have done all kinds of business related searches and I can not find the a-hole who runs this entire operation. That is worrying to me. NO names no accountability.
