F rating with the Better Business Bureau for a reason

Brownstone Research has an ‘F’ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and you speaking about their high rating. I have been trying to stop the many emails a day from Brownstone or their associates (thanks for sharing my contact information Brownstone). Next day, repeat. You can never unsubscribe from Brownstone, just one of so many ‘affiliates’ that claim that I allowed for affiliate emails. Many more will follow. I have called the Brownstone Research directly, three times about stopping the emails and sharing of my contact information. Still waiting for the emails to stop.
Trust Pilot does not allow for me add a link to the Better Business Bureau, but it is easy enough to find.

Jeff Browne Research BEWARE!

Jeff Browne Research, smoke and mirrors… “But wait there’s more! (At further costs). Their methods seem to border on a scam. I had to fight to get my refund (within the legal 40 days) After I got it they then sold on on my email to an open register and I receive so many emails now which I block. BEWARE!

Non-Subscription Nightmare

*UPDATE: Don't believe the response below. They have now added me to an additional 7 new letters per day!

I also, like another reviewer, had a "trial subscription" with Palm Beach Research and then unsubscribed. BUT they on-sold my email address to Brownstone, who is now bombarding me with affiliate emails and Jeff Brown advice at the rate of 50 emails per day! and growing.

If you have a spare email address, take the risk or be prepared to close down your email account for harassment by these guys:
Art of Investment
Jeff Brown in many colours and packages
Active Money Management
BBB Bulls Beating Bears
Conservative News Journal
...this list goes on and on

Never Trust

They are getting your money and they have never considered the loose that you got from following their recommendation . My portfolio ended with loosing money %70- %90 and one stock is delisted that cost me around - $3000 alone. I got a response from the customer service notifying me that they will send me the refund and cancel my service as I requested but I got only $1066.25 from $5331.25 that I paid for Brownstone Unlimited service. I try to explain that I should get my full refund even if I agreed to their terms. It is enough the money that I lost and they do not care about it but they care about getting your money and to convince you that in 6-12 months you get what you pay plus huge profit. I should report it to the consumer affair. Please do not try to deal with them and save your money and stay away . They are going to make money from you by any mean. The law does not protect the dupes.whoever own this business should be clear with the customers and try to increase customer satisfaction not by telling false and imaginary dreams that is why this business is loosing customers and having a bad rate.

The customer was refunded 1066.25 because that is the amount that they paid for the subscription after using a non refundable one time use credit for the remainder of the purchase.

The customer was informed at the time of purchase that the credit was non refundable and one time use and agreed to these terms and condition before making the purchase.

We apologize that you are unhappy with the resolution, however we do stand by our decision due to your agreement with us.

You never really know what service( information) they are selling( promising) you for the money spent for advice. After you give them a large amount of money . You follow up on there information and how to use it and wham! They tell you you need to buy an upgrade to really make the gains they implied. I realize nothing is guaranteed and nothing is a sure bet, but the buy and sell ques are way out of sync with real life. And and that is exactly the information I paid for. Plus the real money on making gains is the upgrade you get crumbs to to entice you to spend another 2-4-12 thousand dollars for. It's like sitting in on a timeshare 1-2 hour sales pitch.

Total scam!

Total scam!! One infomercial after another. They "promise" good information if you pay so many dollars--but wait-- if you pay more, they will give you better advice. The "good advice" starts at. $2000 and goes up. Having said that, I did receive my refund because I cancelled w/in the timeline.

Not legit, smells like a scammer

Take note - an indictment filed by the SEC against a Jeffery Brown for defrauding $17 million from investors in a real estate scheme between 2006 to 2010.. eventually Jeffrey Brown pleaded guilty and got 5 years in prison. Check it out, the guy is not legit

They spam you sell your data to third party associates and after they use different aliases to send you their own spam mails not from brownstone directly but from mails like this news at email.estate-goals.com signed with Jeff brown and of course Van Bryan
Editorial Director, Brownstone Research. Company that cannot even use its name to send what they call promotional mails are really not reputable.

Each time they tell you to unsubscribe but every two weeks they acquire new aliases to send mails and try to trick even your spam filters. If this is normal sign up otherwise hope this helps someone to avoid 4 months already of relentless spam email abuse. Sometimes 5 or 10 mails a day.

SPAMMERS

These a**holes are spammers. I have received over 3 emails per day, even after over 10 requests to unsubscribe. I have even emailed the company to request removal from their lists and I’m still being spammed. Beware!!

Spam/scam disinformation artists

I found out about them because they pump scams into my inbox with spam that I never requested and lie about me requesting it. When I looked on Twitter I saw the promote Chinese and Russian propaganda and covid-19 disinformation. For all their "follow the money" garbage somebody needs to follow theirs back to Moscow and Beijing.

Brownstone Unlimited

Just listened to a long winded Jeff Brown webinar and offer to subscribe to 'Brownstone Unlimited' with the usual bag full of bonus's plus a lifetime access. All very tempting until I took time to read a huge sample of reviews about Brownstone memberships. Thank you. Now all I want to do is just run for the hills !!

The other reviewers are spot on....Brownstone Research is a great place to waste your money. I am sorry that I ever heard of them. As with many others I started getting all kinds of spam not long after I signed up with them. They say they are for the small investor, but that is far from the truth. Their products are way overpriced and forget their refund guarantee, when you cancel they refuse to give you any money back. They say you can use it as a credit on their worthless products. Stay away from Brownstone Research, it is a rip off.

I have to agree with the other reviewers. I subscribed to the near future report thinking I would get financial info for $49ish. All I got were infomercials to other reports. To be fair Jeff does recommend 1 coin per video; however it's not enough information for a newbie. I was hoping there would be more hand holding.

Payment system compromised

Either Brownestone Research is onselling subscribers' personal and payment details or their system has been compromised. After subscribing to The Near Future Report I started receiving up to ten spam emails a day and I am still receiving spam emails daily, and I was subject to debit card fraud last week after falling for a smishing scam, but the scammers already had all my details. I'm 99% sure fault is attributable to Brownestone Research.

This place is a Total Scam. . .and anyone who's checks higher than 1 star is in for a really ugly reality: Their only business model is selling your data and email to other scam companies and spammers. Stay the hell away!!!

Deceptive

Don’t reply to any emails, the claims are not backed by any proof. Uk phone numbers do not get recognised and all VIO bonus reports do not work for UK investors.

Non existent customer support and really disappointing experience

Don’t waste your money or trust them.

Never shipped all the product they represented that I paid for. Then they used a typical response like you see in this thread. I spoke with them and they said it was my problem since I patiently waited for the back ordered items.
