I, too, was a victim of Julie Parks and Acai Burn, as was my elderly mother (who convinced me to try it). It may be true that all of the stipulations are listed (in fine print) somewhere on the web site, but the site was clearly designed to mislead. 


Case in point? Today I was searching for an example of a really bad web site for a design class and went looking for Acai Burn. When I couldn't find it, I googled Julie Parks (who could forget her?)  Interestingly, the same site showed up under the brand name "Acai Slim," which is clearly the newest rip-off in an extremely dangerous and well organized internet scheme (complete with this "Julie Parks" character). 

The rebuttal offered by the company in previous posts (that so generously offers customer service information and help) is a joke. Customer service is nearly impossible to reach, and there is NO physical address that works for this company. Once you give them your credit card number, you will be completely at their mercy. Not only do they charge for the product, but they charge for an additional subscription (fine print?). It is nearly impossible to remove them from your account-- I HAD TO CLOSE MY ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO GET RID OF THIS COMPANY, even after repeated calls and online chats with customer service. There is NO TRIAL for this product, though they will tell you that you can try it for $4.95 + shipping. They charge your card, regardless. I even shipped my trial product back to the company, priority mail. Additionally, even after they stopped charging for the product itself, they continued to charge for the "subscription" (I never did figure out what it was they "subscribed" me to).

Let me repeat that: I had to close my account in order to rid myself of these recurring charges. This is a straight-forward internet scam. I am appalled at the nerve (and obvious structure and scope) of this organization. Any attempts at rebuttal on their part are simply outrageous.
