      My experience here was a very terrible one. After I had made my second deposit I was blocked out. Nothing I did worked. I was so frustrated and giving up on my money when HARPER J**** came to my rescue and helped me out with the issue. I would have been in a big mess if I had not met HARPER J**** ( *******************  *  *  ****   *** ) personally by emailing them privately. I wish to recommend HARPER to anyone in recovery of loss. She saves me and I believe She can also save others who have run into loss.

      I have followed their recommendations, diversified, stayed for the long run. Years later from over 30 stock pics - 27 are losing with many suffering drastic, non recoverable losses such as 90 and 95 percent down. The market has recovered during that time but somewhat not their recommended stocks. This is very odd as you would think that even a random stock pick would result in a better outcome. Highly suspicious, featuring and a major concern as I have moved the family savings to their recommendations. We will never be able to recover from this mistake. I have even emailed them the list of pics and outcome years later and asked for an opinion and reevaluation. Yet no one bothered to reply. Stay away!

      I subscribed to several of their subscriptions (Rule Breakers, *******) and followed their advice and strategy. This was back in 2021. *** ******* told us to repeatedly double down on Lemonade when the stock continued to plummet. Now the stock trades at around $18 a share and I lost 71% since I bought it in 2021, it still hasn't recovered. The same story with many of their recommended stocks. I lost a lot of money. I definitely would not recommend subscribing to any of their portfolios. They are toxic. The incentives are not aligned. Sometimes I feel like they use the newsletters to pump and dump their holding.

      There is no easy way to cancel a subscription service! You are required to do a "help" search for anything related to canceling this service, and when you finally get to a link, it simply creates a message to leave with someone to get back to you. They are very efficient at adding you and your payment method; however, they are not so good at making it easy to end your subscription.

      Motley Fool stock "experts" promote the stocks they own and get more fools on board. Buyer beware - I learned the hard way, and lost big $ following their stock picks (buying 25 of their different stock recommendations to diversify and holding them for years as they recommend).

      Finding a trustworthy company in today's world can be overwhelming, but I was fortunate to discover ************************* their highly professional team helped me recover all the money I lost to fraudsters. They guided me through the entire process and provided excellent support. If you've lost money to scams, ************************* is the best solution.

      They trick you into an auto-renewal and do not cancel your auto-renew when requested.

      fool.com is a scam website. They don't care about their customers or even the content on their website. They copy and paste from different parts of the web and do not deliver anything to their readers.They automatically sign you up for another year even when you do not want it.

      I lost 85% of the value of my investment during 2022 stock market crash. Although ****** recovered fully but my investment barely made any recovery. It is SCAM. Stay away. I really regret not doing enough research before taking their advice.
