Agora Financial - Deceptive Service
Update by user Jun 03

Attached is new screen shot where they require updated $$$$ membership that was included before.

Original review posted by user Jun 03
Entice with $49.99 lead into $99.00 only to to get partial service unless one upgrades to the $2000.00 + memberships. Agora has been around for years stealing from people. They are evil.

User's recommendation: Run Run Run.

Agora Financial - Beware: Tone-deaf marketing

I've been a content customer of Agora for multiple years and share my experience with others. Then today, Agora sends me this offensive, tone-deaf marketing email: Subject: *Customer's name here* I'm dumping you, *Customer's name here* if you wont take a few minutes out of your day to read my Publishers message Then maybe we shouldnt do business together. Listen, my Publisher went out on a limb to get YOU this information *customer's name here*. ... And if you dont care enough to look it over I dont see why youre subscribed to our services at all.

Since the FTC has put the kibosh on their outbound marketing, they may now have to squeeze more out of their *** subscriber list. https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/cases-proceedings/182-****/agora-financial-llc

Agora Financial - Its a scam

1.0
Details
Basically this gives you information that you can easily find for free online unfortunately I paid the $3,000.00 to get a system/ program that did nothing for me as far as educating me on trading low cap stocks. What they really do for you is bombard your email every day telling you to buy the latest and greatest new stock/ options/ futures tips which is not included in your limited $3,00.00 program you originally purchased from them. It's one big marketing Hoax/ scam. I wish I had read a review like this before I got duped into purchasing Agora Financial or Tim Sykes program.

i agree with you. I am skeptical of all 'get rich' schemes.

Burn't my fingers too many times to even admit being a sucker.

I have to give it to them for their convincing spill. I think I could conjure up something like what they do, to con people but my conscience would not let me do it.

WoW! You mean these folks are still in business?

Should there not be some kind of investigation into these dubious practices? But I mean really...if you knew how to make 200%, 500%, or 10X your money, would you be selling newsletters?

Or would you be quietly raking it in?? Having said that, that does not give anyone the right to exploit someone's gullibility or greed.

Sorry about the many issues you are having with these crooks, and was wondering about the Squawk Box, and if that is similar tool to the one that has a green or red light flashing beside the stock that is about to move? I think they called it a black box or something?

Agora Financial - Teucher's Magic Money Scam

I so agree w this man. I have only lost my initial investment of $2K. Because it has taken so long to get mymwebsite Up and running. It still is not. I have found out definite discrepancies in what they have told us. And have been offered free admission to any of six other programs this Teacher offers?! Why would I want to be involved in another venture by this fraudulent man? His video is total BS. None of those people could qualify for level 3 option trading. We were told we would be able to do this. Total Liars! I also have $2K invested in Alan Knuckman's 42 day plan. Have not been able to participate here yet- no website!?! Does anyone know if this guy is on the up and up. Or, is he just another fraudulent, scam operator. We need to do something about these Angora people.
