Fake Rachael Ray Ad -- Read the Fine Print

How can you tell a shady looking ad featuring Rachael Ray might not be legit? They spell her name wrong!

Rachael Ray

An email blast for a product called Natural Acai is making its way across the Internet. It features a picture of Rachael Ray and the email even says it's from her. But alas -- Rachael has nothing to do with the product.

Ray's reps tell us this has been an ongoing problem. Several different Acai berry websites have popped up using Ray's image -- all because Ray has mentioned Acai on her show. Each time a site like this pops up, Ray's people get it taken down.

Look for this one to bite the dust shortly.

2. Do you guys at TMZ have a rep to contact for this company? I'd be happy to be the new marketing director for them so they dont look like asses. Not only did they mispell her name, but they failed to mention what # superfood it was! What good is a rated # superfood if you dont know how it ranked? Brilliant.

4. There is a drinking game based on the Rachael Ray Cooking Show. Every time she talks about her dog
or her Italian Ancestry, etc. you take a drink. If she drops the spoon she is using to cook with, you take a large gulp.

You might have to search for a few minutes to find it, but
it is pretty funny.

10. Listen to Brad!! It is a BIG SCAM, I was one of those people. Once you give them your account number, money keeps disappearing just like he said. They keep refilling the product without your permission, $85.90 each time. Read the fine print!! It took me 2 months to fight to get my money back. I'll NEVER do that again!! I don't know if Acai works or not, I sent it back immediately.

14. People who live in illiterate glass houses . . . .

"its" is the possessive, "it's" is a contraction of "it is."
