Came across the above website via an advertisement on this site and I'm thinking it's possibly a con? What do you guys think? Thanks.

    Total scam. Acai is a super food and great for you as well as an occassional colon cleanse...but I have seen so many of those websites and they are all scams.

    I would not trust it. The price on the side and the price in the comments are not in the same currency. It seems that the first line in the first paragraph and one of the comments has a tag to plug in the city that it determines you are from.

    "Hello, This is Helen here, and I'm from South Paris, Maine ."

    That is a stone's throw from me here in Norway, Maine. I THOUGHT it was too much of a coincidence!

    So....of course I went on too....and yes...MY Helen is from Toronto, Ontario...AND...interestingly enough.....at the bottom, all the comments that look like people commenting on her progress, one says

    "Hi Helen I live in Toronto too and I was wondering how long did it take you to get it shipped to you?????? - maria"

    Well...Maria's from toronto too? Where's your Maria from?

    Also...uhmmmmm hi...sneaky sneaky when you click to try and close the tab (if you use tabbed browing on your internet) it's like..are you sure you want to leave..i'd be a skeptic too ect ect......WOW....really impressive!!! hahahaha..
