Beware of purchasing expensive newsletters such as Night Trader

I, too, tried to cancel Night Trader and was denied. I have placed the charge "in dispute" with my credit card company and will follow up with complaints at the BBB, FTC, and SEC.

The last straw came on Jan 24 when I called for the second time. Customer Service seemed to be in a state of utter chaos and desperation, and I was treated with unbelievable disrespect. I have noticed for some time the ratcheting up of hype, intimidation, unreasonable demands, and predatory behavior, especially at Agora. I refuse to accept such treatment.

and will never renew or subscribe to any of their services again. I will continue to pursue a refund.

Total Scam Loss my 2,500 on entry fee, got no info from the customer service people. this is an illegal operation, and should be sued, and prosecuted.

Guest

It's true there customer service ***

I think we can get a class action on this matter and have a winning case. i too fell victim to the scam.

I have in print now where they say they were making a profit on an option trade which I know they did not. The daily high trade from the day of recommendation to the date of email with profit could never have happened.

Money Map as a whole is a scam. I am out almost $6800 for their fees, not counting their losing track record in recs.

Guest

Re: Night Trader. I too have contacted Money Map Press, DBA Night Trader, asking for a refund and was denied.

The Night Trader program was represented as a program that recommended fast moving stocks, almost everything recommended has been options, not stocks. In addition to the other entities you have filed complaints with, you should file a complaint with the Office of Attorney General, Brian Frosh, 200 St.

Paul Pl., Baltimore, MD 21202. Contact 410 576 ****.

Hi,I tried to get a refund too. They denied.

me. Have more losers than winners. It seems with the hype of a program.

Night Trader is missing the boat. Out $3,000 too.

Why have you not contacted the customer directly. I seriously doubt you will address any client concerns.

Agora used to be legit, but not anymore and all employed there know it. I had a similar problem with them years ago.

Money suicide

The fastest way to lose money in the market is to follow Chris Johnson and trade recommendations from the Night Trader. He gloats over the few wins and they happen when the market does a major change, so luck vs skill seems to be what makes it work. Just look at the weekly score card and cringe. He lets options expire to almost worthless before pulling the trade. This is not a good manager or considerate to his customers trades. He will share his wonderful personal life and brag of being on TV. Is anyone really interested ?? I have asked for my money back since March after suffering repeated consecutive losses. No way, but they will switch me to another system. He is not the only one. Tom Gentile Money Calendar Pro is a mirror to Chris program. Another way to lose money and fast. Doesn't post the losers and only the winners.

I was scammed by Night Trader as well. And they don't honor their guarantee!

I wish I had found this site before I subscribed! Slick sales pitch, he sounds like he can really do what he promises and then you figure you have the guarantee if it doesn't work. But they'll never give you your money back! I tried, several times.

Now I am going to social media.

I would like to get my money back but barring that I hope to save other people their money. It's a shame companies get away with this, but we can fight back by using social media to let everyone know NIGHT TRADER IS A SCAM!

Hello, I just finished watching a presentation for a new virtual trading system called Alpha 9. It was very convincing and I was doing my due diligence and found this site which has probably saved me the $3995 subscription price. Thank you!

Almost pushed the order button...then my cell phone rang

Money Map Press' sell job was so convincing that I was minutes away from ordering a subscription. Then my cell phone rang and my distraught neighbor let out several expletives mixed in with three words...Money Map Press. He asked me how could he be so gullible and desperate? However, all I could do is listen in my shocked state, as he is normally a quiet person. What are the regulators doing to stop these predatory practices? Better yet, what is government doing? This call saved me thousands of dollars and sleepless nights.

Tom Gentile's Money Call

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I've paid $1995 just for Money Call and am really pissed. Here's why.

I understand the risk and accept the losses but the SHEAR NUMBER OF LOSSES and the EXTENT OF EACH LOSS is just plain sad. Tom said, "Just do exactly what I tell you to do and you'll double your money". I understand there are exceptions - not every trade will double your money or even make money but I don't understand or accept the following: first trade was on 8/27/18 - FIT 21% LOSS; DIA 79% LOSS (Fast Fortune); AVGO ?? LOSS; GE 35% LOSS; JD 100% GAIN (the only gain); LEN 59% LOSS; FIT (never filled even though Tom called it a gain); QQQ 82% LOSS; ORCL 71% LOSS; XOM 63% LOSS; XLP 41% LOSS.

These are all verifiable with the Market and Email date and time stamps That's 451% in losses and one 100% gain in about 6 weeks. He's never going to make his promised 2200% in one year - he's already in the hole net 351%. And the Customer Service sucks!! They either don't know what they're doing or they're rude and just want you off the phone unless they can sell you something.

And they never, not once, returned my emails. Wtf

Their focus is volume $2000 to $2500 per customer. The last 7 trades was nothing more loses!

This would make any retired person furious!!! They refused customer satisfaction and any time a company refuses a refund is a rip off wolf of wall street scam. They have no morals even the folks that works for the company. They give you false hope all to get your money.

They ticked Off a lot of folks for nothing is being done about it. Their nothing but con artis!!!

Rather than waiting for "something being done... Provide your records relating to recommendations/actual results/profits claimed by company, as well as anything regarding your subscription/refund refusals to your state's Attorney General's office, as well as your district's U.S.

Attorney's Office. That's what you pay state and Federal income tax for...

I will reach out to your Resolutions Team to request a refund of $1995. There are so many things wrong with this program and because of that, I don't trust Money Map Press or any of their "Gurus".

That being said, I have no interest in "switching into a different trading service" or doing any future business with MMP. I just want my refund.

The truth

very newsletter or invest website says they're going to make you rich, not overnight but within months, if it was so easy why would they be telling you, because they don't want help the multi-million dollar companies get richer and they want to be made a legend, that's what every company tells you, and they say they charge to make people who do the work make money. That's the same sentence I've heard from every seminar, I went to the U.S. Tax lien seminar 3 years ago, the speakers tell you in 2010 they made 68,000 on 6 properties, they tell you if you register at the seminar it's 1,500 and that there are over 100 people in every training class, if they only make $1000 per person that's $100,000 in 3 days and if you don't purchase at the seminar it will cost $6000, I got an email 3 months later offering the course online for $50, they'll all the same, whether finance or real estate it's so easy but they keep offering the seminars, everyones a scam, just to give you the facts. Poor Dad, Rich Dad sold 41 million copies of his book, so he made hundreds of milions on just 1 book,

I used to like the ads that claimed " for $1 we'll send you the secret of making a million" and then sent you a slip of paper reading - "offer to make someone rich for a $1 and then send them a paper telling them to ask a million people for $1 each and you'll share the secret of making a million"....

Changed composition of Passport Club

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Several years ago I signed up for their all-inclusive membership. The only exceptions were to be micro-companies or ones needing qualified investors.

When I tried to access Night Trader (a new service at the time), I was told that elite services were not included, even though my list of subscriptions covered under Passport Club includes Night Trader. I ended up paying for it, but when I questioned them again last week, telling them that Night Trader was listed as a service that was included, I was told that that was only for members in the "new" Passport Club, not the original one.

If I didn't have to pay the fee for Night Trader, I would have come out with a profit of $1,610.40. As it stands I lost ~$400.

If you signed up when they first started, you are entitled to everything. I went through the same thing with them, having to call every time a new service came out.

My Club paperwork, which I still have, says I am to get every new service added. A later Club paper says you are entitled to almost every service that comes out. I had to fie a complaint with BBB to get them to straighten out.

Now they admit that I am grandfathered in, for all the goo it does. The only thing I don't get is their cannabis crap, which saves me money as shown by the reports.

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to review Money Map Press. We have multiple tiers of our exclusive bundled memberships and over the years we have adjusted and omitted some of these membership plans.

Our Passport Club membership includes lifetime access to all of our Newsletters and Trading Services. Our Passport Club Elite package provides access to all the above, as well as our Elite services such as Night Trader, Zenith Trading Circle and Weekly Money Call. I'm sorry if you feel misled from the promotions and marketing of our services. I would be more than happy to review your account to see if you are eligible for any additional preferred member benefits and discounts.

I signed up for Keith Fitzgerald High Velocity profits and Chris Johnson Night Trader Some wins but most were money losing recommendations. I also signed up for Tom Gentile Weekly Money and that was close to break even Night trader had guarantee of free 2nd year if the service did well...it did not, I questioned Customer Service and they claimed Night Trader did well. Spent $1950 on this service and lost money n top of this! Needless to say, I am not happy spending $3500+ on these new letters and losing money

how can we get our money back total scam

Guest

Anytime you are experiencing unauthorized recurring charges on a credit card, notify your bank that your credit card was lost. Have them close your account and issue a new card number.

This will stop them because recurring charges are not allowed on a new account.

I suggest not explaining to your bank what the problem is because they will want to conduct and investigation and no telling how long it will take. I am not a subscriber of money map financial services, but i have resolved unauthorized recurrent charges 3 separate times by simply informing my bank that i lost my card.

I spent $1950 18 weeks ago feeling good about the "hype" the Shah was putting out, i.e. 93% accuracy. Unfortunately hype was all that it was. The fact is the Shah was wrong, or decided not to play, 16 of the 18 weeks. Ironically a losing 89% record!! If I had done the opposite of his advice I'd be sitting pretty. I opted out of his "system" week three and just sat by and watched week after week miscalls. No refunds allowed in his system so I'm out the cash but older and wiser. Total scam. 10 minute millionaire is also a load of crap. My dad used to say, not an original saying BTW, if it seems too good to be true, walk away.
