Hi *****, you signed up for an annual subscription to Green Zone Fortunes in January 2024, and you chose for your subscription to automatically renew. That's why we attempted to charge your card. We sent you an email notification before we attempted the charge.Review fromScott P

Paid for a subscription to strategic fortune. Listened to his hour long presentation and bought the stocks he recommended on a Friday only to have them drop 20-40% on Monday. Then on Wednesday he had a update to the code red which was referenced on Friday, now it's 4:50 p.m. in after hours trading still waiting for the three stocks he wants to recommend. So if I want to buy these stocks I need to sell some of my other stocks so I did to have the funds settle before the next day. Only to find out he wants to sell me another subscription. Now I'm out of my GOOGL an VRT stocks with no recommendations. It cost me a loss on this, it's a bait and switch. Ian King Only has a 44% win rate way below 50%. I called customer service only to have them hang up on me with no resolve. This will be the only subscription I will have with Banyan Hill and I don't recommend them, hard to get current info and it's usually out of date and late. Loss money on the first recommended stock when I first signed up LAZR loser.Banyan Hill

Hi *****, your review is misleading. There was no bait and switch. You have access to all of the recommendations that come with the service you bought, which is Strategic Fortunes. You chose to sell your stocks; you didn't sell them based on a trade alert from Ian. You expected our agent to give you access to a different subscription, Extreme Fortunes, for free. Naturally our agent said 'no'.Review fromSteve M

Like others, I paid thousands of dollars for lifetime subscriptions to four Paul Mampilly products. Paul left Banyan Hill just three years after I purchased the first, lowest price subscription, Profits Unlimited. Three high dollar subscriptions to Rapid Profit Trader, True Momentum, and Paul’s Secret Portfolio didn’t last a year. In fact, I had access to the highest price service, Paul’s Secret Portfolio for less than 6 months. Not much of a lifetime! Upon Mampilly’s departure, and without any discussion, Banyan Hill substituted two services, Extreme Fortunes by Ian King, and 8 Figure Fortunes by Charles Mizrahi. I had experience with Ian King when he was managing Rapid Profit Trader for Paul Mampilly. Ian was a loser and was eventually removed from that service. Charles Mizrahi has provided some solid picks, but an equal amount of losers. These guys simply are not in Paul Mampilly’s league. Banyan Hills substitution of these two service for four Mampilly services was and is not equitable. The lifetime cost to join these services is a fraction of what I paid for the Mampilly products. Classic bait and switch! I doubled my money with Paul Mampilly when he was with Banyan Hill. I followed him to his new service at ATG Digital, and the winning continues. I RECOMMEND YOU AVOID BANYAN HILL!Banyan Hill

Thanks for your feedback and I'm sorry you are disappointed with your experience with Banyan Hill. We were disappointed when Paul left as well, but I think there is some confusion. Ian King was never associated with Rapid Profit Trader. You were given access to like services for each subscription service you had. You currently have 3 active subscriptions with us (you let one service expire). The costs for the services are equitable to what you had previously. There was no 'bait and switch'. Whether or not you feel Ian King and Charles Mizrahi are in Paul's league is entirely up to you, but the portfolios you are holding show mostly winners. Still, appreciate the feedback.Review fromEarl R

The video and sales pitch is great information. Very interesting. I find it strange that their's only a handful of reviews. If they are total rip off I think you would see tons of complaints. I do see where they took the time to respond to each complaint. I have not YET bought in so I can't say their picks are good or bad. I think the info commercial is worth watching. Excellent, ***** *****Banyan Hill

****, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Regardless of whether or not you purchase the service I'm glad you found the information we provided useful.Review fromSteven F

Without any request from me, this company began spamming me by email advertising too-good-to- be-true investment offers. I "unsubscribed" from these spam emails that I never subscribed to, but the company continues to bombard my inbox at even greater frequency. Legitimate companies do not behave this way. I never sent the company any money. I would like to leave 0 stars, but BBB does not allow that.Banyan Hill

Hi ******, as we addressed in your formal complaint, Banyan Hill is not sending emails to you. Your email address isn't on any of our promotional lists, nor have you signed up for any of our services. If it was us, unsubscribing to our emails is simple - we provide an unsubscribe link at the footer of all of our promotional emails. I'm sorry you are having a bad experience, but it is not because of Banyan Hill and it is disingenuous of you to say that it is.Review fromLiz C

****- I paid for lifetime membership and they discontinued it when Paul ******** left the company. He was everything to them and no one is getting any profits without PAUL MAMPILLY- but you can find him at ATG digital with an awesome affordable subscription beginning at $9.99 a month - that's righ and You will make money agian- the more you know!!Banyan Hill

Hi ***, thanks for your feedback. It's true that Paul ******** retired from Banyan Hill in 2020, but it's not true that our customers aren't seeing profits. In fact, most of our services far outperform the market and some of our customers are seeing record profits. To be clear, your Profits Unlimited subscription was merged into a lifetime subscription to Strategic Fortunes, which you chose to cancel. Currently over 2/3 of Ian's Strategic Fortunes model portfolio are seeing gains of over 20%... many well over that. Give us a call at ###-###-#### and one of our agents will be happy to walk you through the benefits of one of our subscriptions. Some - like Strategic Fortunes - start at less than $5/month.Review fromJesse V

Stay away!!! I signed up for the next gen coin news letter after watching the one hour long commercial. Basically the commercial was centered around this one alt coin that will have huge gains. As far as I know they still haven’t told me which one they are predicting. I signed up for something that cost around $50 but my bank was charged $250. Another experience that lead me to believe this was really just a scam. Being a member allows you into one of around 6 or 7 categories. All of which you pay another fee to basically level up. I did speak with customer service and they said they will refund me.Banyan Hill

Hi *****, I see you called and spoke with one of our agents who explained that you chose a lifetime offer when you placed your order online. That's the reason for the price discrepancy. They also explained that you have not only the Next Gen Coin recommendation, but all of the recommendations in Ian's model portfolio, and they offered to walk you through the website to get your subscription information. If there is anything else we can do for you, please let us know.Review fromCharlotte F

Yesterday, I signed up for their 'Next Gen Coin Newsletter' and they charged my account $208.00 but they advertised at a $47.00 Special. Thanks to my bank notifying me of the charge, I was able to cancel right away. Beware!Banyan Hill

Hi *********, I'm sorry you didn't have a great experience. It looks like you chose our lifetime offer when you placed your online order, which is why you were charged the additional amount. Your subscription had a full one-year money back guarantee so there really was no risk to you, but we would have been happy to adjust your order. If you'd like to resubscribe, please call us at ###-###-#### and one of our agents can make sure you get the subscription that best fits your needs.Review fromClarence P

1 starMy husband and me have been paying for sound investment insight for a few years now. This years as been a year we have questioned Banyan Hill's ability to make good decisions. They are very good at selling them their services but recently I question their financial recommendations. We have lost a lot of money due to the positions Banyan Hill has recommended.
