      I subscribed to Altuchers Investment Network on the 30th April 2022, and paid $49usd. The order confirmation had these details Email Reference ID: ********** Promocode: ******** The subscription offered a refund within 6 months if not happy with the service. Well, I'm not! I have had emails bounced back from the support email address and the customer service email for members. When I was able to log in, I couldn't cancel my subscription in the member section in my manage accounts. For days I kept getting error messages telling me to try again later. Then when I tried to log in again I had to reset my password via an email link, only to get a message saying that I was an invalid user. All this is beyond having to continue dealing with what seams like a scam business, that jus kept sending me more and more emails offering upgrades or other services. This absolutely abysmal. I want a full refund as stated in their order subscription.

      In September of 2021 I pruchased a newsletter from Three Founders Publishing for a product called Alphabrain using options.. I use options quite a lot but seem to little time to research them. I also own products from ***** ********** and been very satisfied with them.

      This paticular newsletter Intrigued me because they were offering a money back gurarntee if I was any way disatisfied with the product. I have to say I wasn't really dissatisfied with their product, I was not able to use it effectively to earn any money on it.

      I decided to have to money returned to me as promised. What I they told me is that they had no money back guarantee and never did. in the spiel I read they had a lengthy discussion from James A. regarding my satisfaction with the product was imperative, and would refund my money...no questions asked if I was not happy with the product.

      I was greatly dissapointed when I found out it was an outright lie. All I'm saying is if you are thinking about this newsletter and pruchase it because of the money back guarantee. Don't do it.
