Checking my emails is one of those chores that just has to be done. There’s very rarely ever anything in there that I actually want to get. Mainly I just get spam for things I have no interest in. Why do these people do this? Do they actually get anything out of it, or is it just purely malicious?

I saw a piece of spam recently that advertised the latest in weight loss aids: acai berry. I had heard about acai on Oprah the night before, so this particular email piqued my interest somewhat. I didn’t click anything in the email, naturally, but I went to my old friend Google to try and find out more about it. It made for really interesting reading, that’s for sure.

To cut a long story short, I ended up ordering some acai berry supplement pills. I was interested in the anti-aging properties, and I imagined it would be something that was just good for: like cod liver oil. I got the supplements delivered – a free trial, or so it seemed – and I took them as prescribed. So far so good.

Of course I was then hit with this infamous re-bill scam. I managed to get it canceled eventually, but what a hassle!

By then I was convinced that acai was doing me some good, so I scoured the web for something a little more reputable. I happened upon a few acai berry Ultra-Slim reviews almost by accident, and it looked like that was the product for me. I checked out the Acai Berry Site and found that they did a 100% pure puree version; this sounded interesting and I snapped up a couple bottles. No re bills this time. No problem.

The puree is actually, in my opinion, much better than the supplements. I feel that it’s doing me a lot of good, and not just in the anti-aging area. One of the active ingredients in Ultra-Slim is Essentra Slim (I guess that’s where it gets its name) which combines with the natural properties of acai berry to provide a potent appetite suppressant.

I guess that makes this a happy ending… so far, anyway!
