Beware Of Acai Berry Scams - 08/06/2011
kevinrel22: You must have seen acai berry advertisers that claim to offer a free trial and help you lose weight without paying a single dime. I fell for one of such offers only to find I was being billed hundreds of dollars each month. When I asked the company why was I being billed, they told me, when taking the Free Trial, I signed up for a monthly subscription and agreed to pay $109.99 each month for the supply of Acai Berry. I asked them to cancel straight away. They said they cancelled my subscription and I would not be billed again. Then came my next credit card statement, I was surprised to see the charges again. I tried to call up the comapny again. No one answered my call for 2 days. On the 3rd day I was finally able to speak to someone after being on hold for an hour. I explained my situation to the person, he said he would refund my money and I would not be billed again. To date I am yet to get the refund. Instead of waiting to see more charges on my bill, I decided to cancel my credit card. What a relief! The end result was after losing $329.97 I was yet to lose a single pound. Some of you might lose few pounds after paying the bills (Pun Intended). Most of you might have lost lot of money on different weight loss programs and are still looking for a solution that will transform you overnight. Believe me , there is no such system available.

Pete : Kevin,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.  I discussed it on a video-blog here.

JEANS - 06/12/2011
Igor: Hi Peter, I can't believe how much I have missed seeing new videos from you. Your tips are always informative. Would you please wear your tightest pair of jeans in your next video? Maybe your gray shorts need a vacation. Thanks

Pete : Hey Igor - sure, no problem.  The reason that I wear the grey shorts often is that I wear those to the gym, and I generally head right into the gym when I finish filming my video on Mondays.
