Beware Scammers

Beware - Total scammers.
Also impossible to contact - ignore emails. "Unsubscribe" link in their emails doesn't work.
Not sure how this could get worse - PLEASE do not invest with cowboys

Agora et al are all scams

Agora is the main company that owns and distributes via a large network of scam newsletters. They are all a scam, period. Use common sense and read these reviews. Their services prey on individual investors through bogus analysts and traders. Fake people with no verifiable backgrounds. Offices that are all postal boxes primarily in Florida. They make millions banking on our stupidity. Avoid at all costs. Don't find out the hard way. Simply avoid their web.

Wish I had found this website earlier

Wish I had found this website earlier. I fell for the sales pitch and bought a subscription to Dark Money Millionaires. Every single trade suggestion except one was a big loser. Less than 2 months later the service was cancelled, they offered to switch to another advisory letter using the same losing analyst(!) and refused to refund my subscription.

Life time member

I have been a life time member to Agora for over 20 years, so before they had all of these other companies.

I was told I would get all the newsletter they publish in future. Today they and their subsidiaries produce probably hundreds, I do get several, but they come and go, a lot are only marketing. I recently called to ask how they decide which letters I am entitled to, they were unable to answer the question. Most of he advice was not profitable. There are others out there trying to copy what Agora and Boner have done, so beware. I suggest that you should not sign up to any of the expensive letters and do not sign up for a life membership, as you do not know how long it will last, they are a rip off.

It's not that organized. It feels look I could have googled a lot of this information, and each "course" sends you to another platform to buy another course. I will ask for a refund.

The Real Agora Client Services

I initially began investing in Agora subscriptions a looong time ago, but have yet to profit from my education investments, due Totally to my own time constraints. In the meantime, Agora Corp has grown tremendously over these years! I am anticipating an equally dramatic financial life change in my immediate horizon, and knew I was absolutely, completely confused as to the information I have at my fingertips.

I called Client Services and was blessed beyond measure: the representative I spoke with spent considerable, quality time to help me sort out everything, putting all of it in good order. He was patient and thorough. He brought the "fuzzy, hunh? who/what/where/when" Corp and subsidiaries tree to clarity - yahoo!!!

He then took the time to allow me to explain the direction of my financial interest in my pending education, and shared overviews of subscription strategies. This gave me guidelines of where to start: priceless information.

He was well versed in Agora's corporate structure. His delivery of information was clear, both in voice and content. He was "tuned in" and "connected," thus offering me security that my questions/needs Would be addressed, In Full, before the conversation closed.

Finally, he put all of our conversation results in print form, extensively detailed, in an email. Golden. I am both at peace with what is ahead and excited - actually, thrilled!

I have now read a fair number of the reviews of other subscribers, and have come to this conclusion: while not everyone will have positive results of their trade activity, my experience is an example of the Real Client Services team in the Agora Corp desire to satisfy their subscribers. And, thanks to you ALL who have shared before me, I've got solid recommends of some great publications to peruse ahead! Thank you, thank you, for sharing, each one of you.

This company is pretty much a scam

This company is pretty much a scam. Lured me into a lifetime membership with one of their trading services. I found out immediately that their trading strategy was simply not for me. Talked to one of their representatives but was not able to switch to some other service that they had. I am feeling like I've thrown away $2000 in water... Not helpful at all.

Boy I wish I never signed up for AlphaBrain. Totally Bait and switch. On text alerts cant get near price point for over 2 months. Got sucked in because of James magic formula. What a scam. How does he sleep at night? Asked for money back after a month and no go. Constant e mails to buy more. Do yourself a favor and stick with Motely Fool a reputable company. Sure I will not get a response from these creeps.

Subscribed to Shea Russels Rock Stock…SCAM

Subscribed to Shea Russels Rock Stock insider. Was promised weekly updates. A month later i have had one report with recommendations.
In the meantime I have had numerous solicitations from Fat tail media attempting to upsell other products.
Feels like a bait marketing scam to me

Excellent Service

I had a problem with the Lifetime Income Report. I called Agora Financial and talked to Nikita A. She carefully listened to my problem and found the professional solution for it. I was very happy with her service and thanked her for her time. I found Nikita very helpful.

Poor trade calls

I understand from reading online that St Paul Reserch is under the umbrella of Agora Financial, hence this review. St. Paul Research is exceptionally bad with what they recommend for trades. I highly recommend you don't waste your money on their services.

A Satisfied Beginner....... thank you. Bob

Since I've just started really started delving into the market, my review initially deals with customer request concerns. Seeing that I may have been eligible to receive some additional literature on financial help, I contacted Agora. They quickly responded to my request by agreeing to send me all of the materials that I asked for. I look forward to further use of their services. Bob

In 2014 I paid $1,000 for a lifetime membership of agora's financial advisory reserve. It was a lot of money for me at the time as I had been scammed before but I had success with their other services. at the time there were about 6 services which paid for themselves in a few months. I am making good money with them as for some reason I now have over forty services. Some of them very average but there are some really great ones like Robert Kiyosaki and Zach scheidt's buyout millionaires club and his income on demand. there have been no requests for extra money so it is the best $1,000 I have ever spent.

they kept trying to get me to purchase more and more programs and newsletters. Every stock tip that I invested in lost money. So not happy with this company. A pyramid scheme almost.
