Stansberry Research

"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.

"Buyer beware. How could I pay for a subscription in…"
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.

"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…"
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

"A $210 charge for annual maintenance on…"
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 !!!

"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!

"I was billed on a credit card ($199)…"
I was billed on a credit card ($199) although I never purchased a subscription. Total fraud!
My credit card company spotted it and notified me but the charge had already. Gone through. Beware!
I will try to get a refund…..
