The Resveratrol Scams

Diet scams are easy.  People desperately want to lose weight, so why not scam someone into it?  The truth is that if someone could pay for the perfect body, they would.  Unfortunately, staying young, staying trim and looking 100 % in tiptop shape isn’t really available in a get-quick-weight-loss scam. There are a lot of good products and ideas on the market for losing weight, but with those good ideas, comes someone trying to make a fast buck.

What Else is Out There?

Take Acai Berry, for example.  The Acai Berries grow on trees in the Amazon Rainforest.  They make up more than 50 % of most of the people’s diet in Brazil and surrounding areas.  Acai is extremely healthy and the health benefits are nearly endless, however, finding Acai Berry in the United States can be difficult.  The best bet is to seek it out at the local health food store.  Unfortunately there are a lot of scam artists out there who don’t really care about the customers or whether or not they are losing weight, but would rather sell them something that was labeled as the product, but did not work like the actual product that the customer was seeking. 

Is Resveratrol a Scam?

The truth is that there have been a lot of research studies regarding Resveratrol.  By all accounts, it is not a scam.  In fact, it is a molecule that can help ward off cancer and tumors, keep us young with antioxidants and help us lose weight, but like Acai Berry products, there are a lot of scams out there that people should be worried about.

How Does the Scam Work?

The scam works like this:  Someone does a web search on losing weight or Resveratrol and several websites pop up telling you to order Resveratrol, free-of-charge, only paying a small trial fee, which is very affordable. 

The customer fills in their information, including credit card and is given a very long agreement, which most people opt to skim over or not read all of.  Even if you get half way through it, you come across information that you think tells you what you need to know, and you stop reading. You think you’re signing up for a $5 or $10 trial of Resveratrol, but in reality, you are signing up for an $80 a month automatic shipment of it.  It’s insanely difficult to get out of the auto shipment deal and if you don’t go through the exact steps of getting away from it, they’ll keep sending it to you and charging it to your credit card.  Some people end up getting hosed three or four months in a row before they finally are able to get it to stop. 

Be careful when looking for Resveratrol  and purchase from reliable sources, not scamming websites that promise a trial.
