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/182-3116/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?
