ABOUT THE ONLINE ACAI BERRY SCAM…
Winfrey, Oz, and Ray have all publicly disassociated themselves from the sites that make unauthorized use of their names.

it is a real SCAM!!!
The Better Business Bureau in the U.S. released a statement this January warning consumers to be wary of website offering acai berry-related weight loss products. Some consumers have complained of unauthorized charges on their credit card or bank accounts for products they did not order.
