Don't get scammed. You pay for an online subscription and they delete it.

1) I bought a subscription last September 21 2023 and an email said they were giving me another subscription instead around November 2023. 2) when I signed In after the holidays, I saw no subscription under my account. I had called in January to Stansberry and their rep. said they would call me back that day, that someone had deleted my subscription. They would see if they could give me a subscription of choice instead of what they would choose ( to me a horrible value trader. Like who wants to touch value stocks which are often bearish anyways. I had bought a 10x your money subscription ). 3) I went to my credit card company after the stansberry rep never called me back as promised. My credit card was refuned. 4) But I now stansberry rebilled with a chargeback 02/21/24. Like really, so dishonest. 5) Today march 1st I see that I still have no subscriptions under my name. I checked today on 3/1/2024 and my account says no subscriptions. so why the chargeback when I still have no subscription. Why don't y'all call me back? Or email me? I wish trust pilot would let me post photos. Now I'm out $2300. If you care about customers and return business, refund my money or I will continue to post here and other review websites with photos of the company's wrongdoing and find other places to post. lawsuit Christine Tyler Texas

This place send out mountains of spam

This place send out mountains of spam! It appears that they also give your email to other spammers. I have no idea how they got my email address, but they refuse to unsubscribe me, so they were all blocked as spam. But there were a bunch of them. Total junk! Basically they all say the same kind of thing, "Some horrible event is about to happen, and I can warn you about it." Reminds me of doomsday profits who are seeking money. I would give them zero stars if possible. Totally scam.
This group NEVER ASKED FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM ME. They just are con-artists.

I bought into Stansberry’s slick…

I bought into Stansberry’s slick marketing campaign back in 2008. $60 a year, and would get a newsletter monthly. I vividly remember 2 stock picks, Hershey and Walmart. Not earth shattering information. Eventually stopped reading them. Then was notified they were going online only. It was 1 of those subscriptions I kept forgetting to cancel. My credit card got hacked, and was issued a new one. Figured Stansberry was done.
Surprise! January 2024, my bank sends me a security alert asking if I approved $100 subscription to them !
No, lol. Also I never have been or logged onto their website. If your reading this, IMHO stay away from them.

Absolutely Trustable

I have joined Stansberry Research and they said I have 30 days after signing up to get my money back if I am not satisfied.When I cancelled they did actually give me my money back.I think the problem with most people is they don't realize it's an annual subscription and the newsletters are quite good.I have cancelled because I have gone into crpyto but I will definitely resubscribe in the future.

Inundated with unsolicited emails…

I paid for a one-year subscription after watching the video and things seemed ok at first. Then I was inundated with email solicitations to the point I could barely find my legitimate emails unrelated to Stansbury’s mailing list partners. I grew so tired of having to unsubscribe multiple times per day that I canceled my subscription with Stansbury, but unfortunately the unsolicited emails from their partners continue to inundate my inbox. I requested in writing more than three months ago that all email communications from Stansbury and their partners cease but to no avail. Beware that your email address will be sold to their partners and you will receive hundreds of unsolicited emails. You have been warned.

How could I pay for a subscription in 9/2023 (2 year 10X investor for approx $2500) only for the company to discontinue it a few months later, not refund my money, not give me an option to choose another subscription, not get back to me on 1/2024 when they said the would. Now I have no choice but write this bad review and contact my credit card company. Shame on Stansberry Research. Buyer Beware . I wish I would've checked the reviews before buying.

We can note that we combined Mike Barrett’s speculative 10X Investor service with his Select Value Opportunities service. When tough choices arise about merging or discontinuing a service, our priority is to serve our customers well. As a result of the merge with 10X Investor, we provided complimentary access to those who didn't have Select Value Opportunities.

Look at the Titles Folks: SCAM BOTS

I'm somewhat ashamed and regret that I asked for one of SR's free papers to examine another point of view. (Their's, by the way, is routinely 'the world is going to end and only if you follow our advice-at a small additional cost-can you possibly survive').

OK; so I learned the truth and TRIED to cancel my 'subscription'. That's when they sold my email address to a random BS generator that floods my email with doomsday and rightwing garbage. Note that to simply attempt to "unsubscribe" will cause your antivirus programs to tell you to stop and back out.

I have used Mac tools to 'block sender' and to auto-delete email coming from blocked senders; you can do the same.

I would estimate 30 to 40 different email domains have tried to get me to bury my money in the back yard, buy weapons, load up on oil or silver, or convince me that Biden created the war in Ukraine to pay back Hunter, an infinitum.

Don't believe their excuses and their 1 and 2 paste. The reviewers here are trying to save you from a nightmare. If SR cannot "confirm this account" don't be fooled into thinking the reviewers's experience is not real.

There is so much work in the world that needs to be done. So very tragic that bozos like SR have to manufacture this meaningless sideshow and waste your time and fleece you of your money.

I agree with other reviewers I have read previously, very aggressive advertising. They advertise themself as giving the investors the same information they would want themselves. My experience being with them a few years now, not true. They look for themselves first.
I believe the worst they do for investors is that they exaggerate every economic situation, scare the investors using letters and presentations, old data, graphs etc to convince the investors and sell their products.
Although I don’t know if what they do is illegal, I believe it is definitely morally wrong and very selfish.
If I knew when I signed up what I know now, of course I would not have.

This company deserves a rating of zero…

This company deserves a rating of zero , but the lowest option available is a 1 ..... Stansberry Research it turns out was founded by Frank Porter Stansberry , who in 2007 was convicted of Securities Fraud for peddling financial newsletters that reported false information. This company has continued on in this same fashion. I called to cancel my subscription upon learning this and a young attitudinal woman named Hilary chastised me for cancelling. She had the audacity to lecture me on how I should not cancel because of something the company founder did a few years ago ..... AVOID THIS SCAM

We would like the opportunity to look further into the interaction described. We requested additional details to aid in locating the account and reviewing the interaction. After obtaining additional details, we contacted the customer to discuss further.

With regards to the additional claim, over 17 years have passed since the conduct at issue occurred and Stansberry Research has since developed a rigorous, multi-tiered review of its investment research and marketing content. On February 5, 2020, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland vacated the permanent injunction entered against Stansberry Research. The Court lifted the injunction after Stansberry Research filed a motion to vacate the injunction. Notably, the Securities and Exchange Commission did not oppose Stansberry Research's Motion or the Court's decision to vacate the injunction.

A $210 charge for annual maintenance on a subscription I didn't know I had. I called to inquire, they stated an email reminder was sent 30 days previous but I searched inbox, archive, junk, spam, deleted, etc. No such email. Not willing to refund.
I've spent many thousands of dollars with Stansberry and this is how they treat customers. AVOID !!!

We could not verify an account using the provided information (first name and last initial). To facilitate a more in-depth investigation, we requested additional details. Once we received the supplementary information, we were able to confirm the existence of the account.

According to our records, a reminder notice was sent 30 days in advance, specifically on 6/28/23.

To address the complaint, we engaged in further discussions with the customer, aiming to reach a resolution.

Terrible customer service when cancelling …

Terrible customer service when canceling subscription. They make you pay for an extra month. Why? Seems like extortion. I cancelled the MotlyFool and they were nice and cancelled immediately. I cancelled both as I have no time to read them. Based on their behavior I couldn’t trust The Stansberry Digest should I subscribe to a financial investment letter again.

Most of the reviews here are silly

Most of these reviews are silly. I have been a trader/investor for almost fifty years and have had two different securities licenses. I have also been a Stansberry subscriber for at least ten years. They do send out too many emails about stuff I am not interested in, and their videos are sales pitches (So don't watch them!) They also have many analysts, some of whom are just o.k., but Efrig and Sjuggerud are worth the subscription easily.

If you do not read their terms of service, or forget to cancel, or cannot help yourself from reading/watching stuff you don't want, that is not their problem. It is not a scam in the slightest as everything they do is on the up-and-up, even if slightly annoying and aggressive marketing. That is not crooked or dishonest!

The charge is within the refund window and as such we have processed a full $199 cash refund back to the card it was charged to. Please allow 5-7 business days for the refund to appear back on your account. A cancelation confirmation email was sent to the email on file.

Pl. save your bucks Don't Do It - Don't Subscribe
I bet this was done on purpose, their long video generally is just B.S. I do not know what went in my head that I subscribed to. I did not get any of their reports, no such acknowledgment of the subscription has been started and bill showed up 35 days later (So the cancellation period was already over)
When I tried to cancel the subscription both front desk people acted as bosses and very rudely refused to refund.
My experience was very much like Ravidas Hegde's review of 2/13/23. This is a total scam. They automatically charged for 1 subscription @ 50 dollars. I was unaware that any service was started because the system crashed.and did not use their service. They claimed to send emails when I did not get any not even in junk mail folder. Do not sign up with Stansberry Research as their reports are bogus just to get you to buy stocks so they can get out of those stocks at a higher price.

I see several complaints like mine. Seems like their business is not doing well so they are inconsiderate with potential customers.

Date of experience: May, 10. 2023

The company can improve by hiring better front desk people who direct the call to appropriate department when asked.
The company should evaluate and consider the situation, and should not adhere to 30 days refund policy, when the service has not been enabled, billing was not done ontime.
they are eager to collect money but never listen to the customer's unique situation.

I find Stansberry Research to be completely useless. I have tried to give them the benefit of the doubt over several years.
However, their "reports" are simply copy and paste with a new ticker and some different data. There is absolutely no meaningful insight to be found, anywhere in their "content". I have found outfits like Seeking Alpha and Motley Fool to be far superior in every way and I have been earning so much with Planoff without your materials. I highly recommend NOT wasting your time ingesting the refuse spewed out by Stansberry.

This is a scam

This is a scam, I invested alot of $ for the advice that don't work! Just like the other reviews they're advice has zero merit. Do not sign up with this group, you will regret it. I called for a refund, and they said I was past the 30 day limit, but you'll never no when you been screwed because it takes longer time for the poor results from bad advice. I called about this and they continue with the 30 day BS (refusing returning of funds) and tell you the results can take months or years to see any positive on investments. So much for the 30 days, that kinda reassures them that they can keep your $! What a bunch of BS. Do Not join this group, and yes they do love the scare tactics in the videos, real good. Think of all the $ you can lose. Now you claim you can’t find my acc? Try looking under my name, or e mail! I paid 6000.00 for absolutely nothing! Bkrdan57@ gmail.com. I am very angry and based on your reviews, I just might start a class action on this repetitive problem! I just want my $ back!

Don't Do It - Don't Subscribe

My experience was very much like Ravidas Hegde's review of 2/13/23. This is a total scam. They automatically renewed me for 2 subscriptions @ $212.13 each. I was unaware of any auto-renewal and did not use their service. I saw the two charges on my most recent credit card bill. Each was posted 2/21. I called to cancel and was told that they auto renewed on 2/3 and that I was out of their 30-day window for cancelation. I had no idea it was to auto renew and checked my email boxes for any incoming emails regarding the auto renewal and found none. Do not sign up with Stansberry Research as it is much like the Eagle's song Hotel California, "You can check out any time you like but you can never leave".

Our intent is never to catch anyone off-guard with a charge. We can confirm that the details were available within the original offer and reiterated in the confirmation emails. We also sent reminder notices for the upcoming renewals on 12/31/22 and 1/4/23. We did speak with Mr. Barnard and, in an effort to maintain its high levels of customer satisfaction, resolved this complaint directly with him on March 14, 2023.

This is a total scam

This is a total scam. They automatically renewed me for 2 years with $200 each/-. I never subscribed for auto-renewal and did not use their service. They spam the email box so much that you never read their emails. I did not find anything useful in their emails. When i asked them about this they insist that auto-renewal is part of their terms and conditions and it was accepted. Such important details of a sign-up like auto-renewal are convoluted and hidden somewhere under terms and conditions. I would never auto renew something like this. They say they sent an email before renewal but they spam you so much to ensure we miss their emails and they can take cover under this garb. This is a big scam. I really feel cheated.

My issue is very much same as Bob Barnard who quoted me in his review dt March 14th 2023 as having very similar issue as mine . You resolved the issue directly with him. Why not do the same with me?

We have looked into the associated account and can confirm that the terms were outlined at the time of order, in standard print. Our records indicate that a reminder notice for the auto-renew feature was sent on 1/18/23, and 2/12/23. The notice on 1/18/23 is showing opened the same day. The notice on 2/12/23 is showing opened twice on 2/12/23 and once on 2/13/23. On 2/13/23 we heard from the customer and honored his request to remove the auto-renew feature on the account. The auto-renew feature was removed and the service is set to expire on 2/17/23.
