WHAT THE F....

So I decided to retry James Altucher and enter into his GREAT GAINS EVENT BLUEPRINT. I decided to look over the RATE you experience page before entering the work it out section. WOW! My surprise. Not only was I brought back to a sudden reality check, but returned to this current page to send you this reply to my severed spine and nature, that I was not wrong in my first response and visit to your company, several months ago, and my feelings about what I felt . It made me decide to "stay away". Tell James I spent three tries at listening to his too long a speech about his feelings and my inept ability to not hit a button on my phone that destroyed his too long of a speech and no reset button on my phone, so I got a "3 for"and came into the house to type out my request to "join up". Then reality hit me and I am sending you this polite letter instead. As I am very much an 82 year old who is watching the USA he grew up in turn into Socialism on steroids, And some "rich" guys run it amuck with the thoughts of "saving the USA", I can only think of the need for more than 2 -747's to fly ALL the right people to Cuba some 4 AM flight. Time for the ( USA) military to take over and cancel the Presidents position as #1.

Dear William, we take feedback like this very seriously and always strive to help our customers make informed investment decisions. We reached out to Trustpilot in an attempt to obtain more information so we could locate your account and address your concerns, but unfortunately, you never responded with any identifying details. Without that information, we have no way of verifying your experience or assisting you.

To be clear, we are not a scam—we have thousands of satisfied subscribers who follow our recommendations successfully. However, as with any investment, there are risks involved. We consistently advise customers never to risk more than they can afford to lose and to diversify their investments rather than putting everything into a single recommendation. Many times when customers lose money, it is because they are not properly following the strategies we outline.

That said, we would still love to help you. If you’d like assistance, please reach out to our customer service team at 844-731-0984, or submit a request online using this link https://paradigmpressgroup.com/contact-us. You can also respond to our request for more information so we can look up your account. We are more than happy to review your situation and see how we can assist you.

Stay away from this company

Stay away from this company. I ordered and paid for subscription of 500 dollars but didn't receive product. Emails and numerous phone calls all ignored. I realise that I can say goodbye to my mo ey. James Altucher comes over as a sincere and honest person, he is a great actor, he certainly took me in. I hope with President Trump back in office he can do something to prevent companies like this one from operating and blatantly
stealing money from people.

Just finished a WHOLE LONG WINDED SALES…

Just finished a WHOLE LONG WINDED SALES PROMO for Altucher's Investment. Almost fell for it at $49/year. Boy, they promise u t moon, sun and t stars. I almost fell for it. This time I was smart enough to ck TP reviews. All my past nightmares w other companies came back to me. Endless barage of email spam, email sold/given to other promoters. Reviews here mention the pain of dealing w this company. They promote their previous 20,000% and 50,000% recommendations. Even if they get one guess right, it's not worth t hassle. Yeah, they probably do lots of good work, some good information and recommendations, but not falling for it w them.

Thanks for sharing your feedback, Jeff. I’m sorry to hear the promotion felt like too much—it’s definitely not our goal to overwhelm anyone. As a company, we’re focused on delivering valuable investment ideas, but I understand that the way it came across didn’t sit right with you.

We do highlight some of our most successful recommendations because we’re proud of them, but we also try to make it clear that not every pick will hit those same highs—investing always involves risks.

When it comes to emails, we only send information about ideas we think you might find interesting. That said, I understand how it can feel like a lot. You can always adjust your preferences or remove yourself from certain emails at any time. If it’s easier, our customer service team would be happy to help make those changes for you.

If you’ve had bad experiences with other companies before, I completely get your hesitation. We work hard to provide solid recommendations and strong customer support, and we’re proud of the results many of our portfolios have delivered.

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts—it helps us get better. If there’s anything else you’d like to discuss, feel free to reach out.

Will do anything to get your money

No matter how hard you try to opt out, you can't. They'll hit you from 100 different email addresses. I must have unsubscribed from at least 8 different newsletters they've sent me, and I keep getting new ones. If you wind up making a one time purchase of anything, READ THE FINE PRINT. THEY WILL LIKELY OPT YOU INTO A YEAR LONG SUBSCRIPTION AUTOMATICALLY. I got hit with an $82 charge for a year of newsletters I thought were free, exactly 12 months after I made a 1 time purchase. I had no idea I signed up for this. READ THE T&Cs CAREFULLY. Nowhere did they say in plain English that I would be paying $82 for a year long subscription to baity marketing emails that give zero value and serve only to drive me towards more purchases. Non existent customer support. One of the most horrific companies i've dealt with.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’d like to clarify a few points about our subscriptions and newsletters.

All of our monthly newsletters come with a full money-back guarantee, so if you are ever unhappy for any reason, you can request a refund. We do not require members to be on automatic renewal — it is simply offered as a convenience to protect our members from potential price increases. You can opt out of automatic renewal at any time.

Even if you were charged for a renewal that you did not intend to continue, we still offer a full refund upon request. Our goal is to ensure members are satisfied and feel supported in their subscriptions.

If you need assistance with your account, unsubscribing, or requesting a refund, our Customer Service team is happy to help. You can reach them at 844-731-0984 (U.S.) or +1-443-353-4212 (International).

Updated: Paradigm Press' Income Aliance - Loser, 45% down!

Paradigm Press has an investment advisory service called Income Aliance, managed by a previous hedge fund manager, Zach Sheidt. The service started in April 2023 and I joined as one of their first group of investors. Since then - now 19 months later - Zach has managed to make a whopping -40% on the Income Aliance portfolio. And keep in mind that is during a VERY upbeat market. He is wrong MUCH more than he is right and following his recommdations has basically destroyed the entire value of my portfolio.

His recommendations are SO wrong and inaccurate, it’s not a surprise at all that he is no longer managing a hedge fund. Now he's moved on to wreak his havok on an entirely new batch of clients. I mean really... after 19 months in an up market, losing 40% of the sample portfolio's entire value? That's shameful, and Paradigm should ask him to resign (and fire him if he doesn't). Get someone at least a LITTLE competent to run the service, PLEASE. This guy is a disaster, other positive reviews are obviously fake! SEE MY PROFILE PICTURE FOR PROOF!

UPDATE: May 15, 2025 - The results have NOT improved. This guy's score with the model portfolio, starting in April 2023 with 100,000$, is now an impressive -34%. I'm surprised anyone is actually following this guy. His recommendations are a complete train wreck, there is no other possible conclusion - its ALSO quite obvious that all of the glowing reviews posted for the Income Alliance are complete fakes. If you follow his recommendations your portfolio will be completely destroyed.

They delivered what they promised!

I first became aware of Jim Rickards and Paradigm Press through a video. It was rather long but very informative and I joined the group. The four items promised were delivered in record time. Several emails were sent informing me of meetings and other things I could take advantage of. I have had no negative experience so far and was especially interested in making your home a barrier and safe haven when the world explodes, which unfortunately is in the future.

I have subscribed to many advisory services

I have subscribed to many advisory services over the last 15 years. I have come to realize not every trade will be a winner. It takes time to understand risk management, position sizing, and when to take profits. This is the only service that has consistently returned profits. We closed out an option trade today that was opened in July and we have harvested profits all along the way. Today they recommended closing out the position for a final profit. Total profit was $33,018 in my account and $12,612 in my wife's account.

I am a small investor that has had limited success with their programs

I am a small investor that has had minimal overall profit especially if you add in the cost of the programs.
I recently had 6 options expiring on 9/20/24 and lost nearly $3200.
They bombard you with must see 2 minute videos that last an hour or more to sell the most recent investments and constantly say that they have an upgrade with a special discount set aside for you.
If they would give you the ability to say no when they make an offer it would be helpful to eliminate the multiple emails that follow,

Selling your email address

Rickards is worth following and his contrarian views are often correct. Paradigm Press will sell your email address. I know this because I accidentally gave them my work email to sign up for a trial trading program that turned out to be worthless bait for upselling. Nobody outside of work has my email except Paradigm. I get one new BS trading ad per day since May 2024. Unsubscribe only works for 1 ad at a time. Paradigm replied to my original review (so I toned down a little but the same rating). They say I can opt out of sharing my email if I contact them. "Out" should be the default. It is too late now... my address is already out there.

Don't waste your money

So far, I've only gotten ONE good stock recommendation. In addition to that, he is political and makes negative comments in his news letters about Trump. They sold my info and email to all their partner investor networks and I get tons of emails. I'm pissed. . They are all trying to sell you something. You will spend an hour listening to the same thing over and over. Don't fall for this like I did. Big mistake!!!

P T Barnum was right .

I signed up for $49 with Jim Rikards and it was well worth the money for the Shakespearean drama and theatrics presented by various Conservative experts regarding the political scene and investing in “secret “ discoveries. The entertainment value albeit slowly unfolding is not easy to replicate . P T Barnum was right . “ There is a sucker born every minute” To their credit, my fee was rapidly refunded and I've enjoyed the experience, but then I am a long term experienced investor who never relies on advisers and does his own research .

I am a small investor and regret…

I am a small investor and regret spending 3k to get a few stock recommendations that may or may not pan out. Mostly I’m bombarded with long winded hour long videos asking for more money to buy into the “secret stock” that will likely make you a fortune. After paying this amount I expect these insights to be included in the purchase. In addition the political slant is extremely annoying and aggressively opinionated in favor of the extreme right. Guess that’s logical when you have one presidential candidate talking about limiting wall streets ability to buy up homes so first time homeowners don’t get completely priced out of the market or consumer rights and safeguards. I’m still hoping to get some actual stock tips as opposed to multiple pitched to buy into the next secret stock. Don’t waste your hard earned money like I did.

100% Spam Machine!

I receive over 100 emails a day from this company and it's affiliates/subsidiaries. They are all disguised as far-right winged fear-mongering and investment tactics. I never signed up for, or much less paid for, any of these services. However, my email continues to be spammed each and every day. The domains are all bogus, unmonitored, and registered using NameCheap servers. Then, SalesForce is being used to drive the spam content. Unsubscribing does absolutely nothing. Many of the addresses of each fake business are registered to the Delaware Chamber of Commerce (Delaware is notorious for protecting public records of an LLC). These include, but not limited to, Event Horizon LLC, Inception Media LLC, Agora Publishing, and Monument and Cathedral Holdings LLC. Many of the emails are the exact same content; from different domains, different business, different names; but exactly the same otherwise, sent seconds apart. This is a spam machine... nothing else. The fact that unsubscribing alone is not honored is a violation of federal law. I cannot conduct my normal business matters because my main email account is inundated with spam messages. Even using spam filters on the email system only half helps; as this company is constantly purchasing new domains (under NameCheap); and continuing with the spam machine. I am only getting started in my investigation; I will continue gathering information as this company continues to violate my rights. I already have information going back 12 months; and have just recently made the connection of Paradigm Press to Agora and Monument and Cathedral. Christopher Carroll is the co-founder of Paradigm Press who also has ties to Agora Financial LLC. I will get to the bottom of this eventually!
