Hard Money Trader. What a waste of money. Massive sales pitch that lead to nothing. A massive sell on some miracle that happens every whatever. bla bla. $1500 wasted and they want $2500 for the 2nd year.
Yes I’m the goose.

So far NOT impressed
So far NOT impressed, I subscribed to Shae Russell’s Sell Australia Investment Strategy report and haven’t received a thing!
I’m starting to think this maybe a scam.
Hopefully it’s just human error.

Sorry
Sorry, but I was not expecting for this platform to take up so much of my valuable time. I was not expecting to spend so much time in my busy day in dealing with all the reading. I have given up on using this platform for earning some extra pocket money.

Hello Spike, we appreciate your feedback. You're right, there is a lot of reading. Unfortunately, it takes time and dedication to become a master of the markets. We wish you well in your quest for extra pocket money.

Stay away from Agora Financial
Stay away from Agora Financial, James Altucher, Alan Knuckman, et al. The "advice" they sell does not produce a net gain in the value of your portfolio. Some recommendations work out profitably, but the ones that do not will cause you to lose far more money than the profitable trades. I began the above-mentioned Agora services in May of 2018. By December, I had made $8500 through their recommendations, but I was $25,000 underwater in sold puts that expired short of the strike price. Many purchased call options have expired worthless. I knew going in that option trading was risky. This has been a costly experience that will take years to fully recover from.

It’s been 3 months but I did not receive the book that I ordered from them.
I ordered a book Rich Dad Poor Dad Last December 2018 but Until now I did received nothing. Is this really a scam? Thank you for the answers.

******** CONSUMER BEWARE ******** Scam…
******** CONSUMER BEWARE ******** Scam Rag. I originally signed up for a free trial subscription and had cancelled within the allotted time frame. They charged me $79.00 to my cc anyways. Today I called again for the 4th time and when I told the young lady this and asked to speak with a supervisor, she hung up on me. I called back and spoke with a young man named Jesse B and asked him for a supervisor and he refused to transfer me. He did send an email to me stating that my account would be credited within 3 -5 business days but this was promised before and they just keep charging my account for renewals. Stay away from these people.

Listed below are only some the numerous…
Listed below are only some the numerous newsletters that were being advertised to my Mom and that she was subscribed to many of them, at one time about $500 worth of them in a few months time.
In October, as a result of my changing Mom's e-mail address at Agora Financial, (to a new "dummy" email account I set aside for her, ). UPDATE:
within a period of 21 days, 148 of these newsletters were issued .So just one boiler room operation controls all these, though they bill with separate names and phone numbers and deny the existence of the others.
This is kind of lengthy so please read all and then look at your own Credit Card statements. You will be lucky to have a $4.95 charge, but later it will renew at $49.99, later $99.99. They are greedy schmucks.
Also they have a penchant to target elderly republican voters. So much hypocrisy for Good American values.
Here is one example of what my Moms credit card had. This after having hundreds of dollars worth of charges removed from a previous credit card. The format will be same some report, an 800 number, an address in Maryland or West Palm Beach.
PSV*Lifetime Income Report. Two charges $4.95 on Sept 7 and $49.00 on Sept 13. They are actually called Agora Financial. They had my Mom listed in their VIP department! That is NOT GOOD! I have called and cancelled those.
Please folks, do not give any of these folks your credit card information. Do not call them or answer their calls begging you to come back. Do not even peek at their websites or click on their e-mails. It is all a scam and they will be charging you over and over for the next year. They are very bad people.
These same bad people are all related and any e-mails like these avoided like the plague. I got 62 emails in first 4 days by simply giving an email address to Agora Financial. These are all the same folks located in Maryland and West Palm beach. They churn out these newsletters as fast as they spam your in box. THEY ARE LEACHES!!! They are just out to sell GET RICH QUICK newsletters. I doubt they can make as much on the stockmarket as they can selling newsletters.

That is just what I have collected so far. It is all Agora Financial behind this.

I purchased a lifetime membership to…
I purchased a lifetime membership to Agora Financial Reserve no later than sometime in 2004. It cost $5,000. For that I was a subscriber to about 10 publications at any given time. Occasionally they would terminate one and substitute another.
I occasionally bought stock based upon their recommendations. Did well on a few, poorly on others. Mostly just maintained the value of my portfolio but still enjoyed reading the new issues and was open to possible new investments.
Then over four months ago I tried to login to my account and found I was no longer listed as a subscriber to any but one of their give away publications. I emailed them via their "Contact" page - multiple times - but only received the identical email form letter response - that they were looking into my problem and would get back to me. They NEVER got back to me.
Next I posted a letter containing printouts of all my prior email messages explaining I was cut off and requesting my access be restored. That was a couple months ago. No surprise that I received no response.
I am considering taking legal action for breach of contract but don't know if that is worthwhile. It would be hard to prove damages. It's a shame because my service was good for 14 years but is now non-existent. I met and talked with Bill Bonner once when he visited Australia, where I live. Very pleasant and friendly guy. And I love his "Bill Bonner Diary" emails. Very interesting analysis of current events. But that in no way excuses Agora's despicable customer service.
