Many people have been caught by this type of marketing and include those who are usually  pretty savvy about orderiing products from the Internet. Even if you make sure that you order from a company based in your own country, it doesn't always follow that you will find it easy to contact them in the event of an issue.

With this type of promotion many people have remarked that they have received only one of their free trial bottles (affiliate marketing programs imply that you get better results if you use both Acai and a colon cleansing product at same time) So they usually wait for the other bottle to be sent before starting the program.

This is where lots of people are getting caught. By the time the other bottle arrives it is too late to cancel within the 30 days.

For those people who still harbor suspicions about Internet based purchases, they will usually realise their mistake when they go back on the web to see if other people have not received their second bottle in the post. This is when they normally realize that they have been misled.

You may feel foolish and blame youself for being so careless at first, but it won't take you long to realize that this is a new kind of heavy duty marketing strategy that is designed to make a lot of money in a short amount of time, by using clever and misleading advertising. Bolstered by a widespread affiliate program, this company bombards people with positive life experience stories from many members that literally have you handing over our credit card and address detail like inexperienced amateurs.

Just before you are encouraged to submit your card details your appetite is further whetted with the statement "Celebrities Use Acai!" and the words "Risk Free Trial!"

The benefit of Acai is further endorsed by cited references from major networks such as CBS News and ABC.

These following details were taken from a UK site but most websites are all very similar in structure.

This is the 30 day money back guarantee that you read before you press that all important button before submitting your precious details...
