A couple of years ago, my elderly father-in-law gave Brownstone Research his credit card details (possibly to get access to a "free" report or possibly taking out a subscription by mistake). Since then, they have been taking $129 per year from him, despite our requests for this to stop. It was only when we posted the first, somewhat intemperately-worded version of this review here on TrustPilot that we got action.

I purchased a 3-year subscription to The Near Future Report. I thought the research had a serious bias problem, and it turns out the particular editor is no longer with the company. My subscription was cancelled after the first year because apparently I didn't pay the yearly maintenance fee. I received so many spammy email promotions that I had unsubscribed from the emails, which is probably why I didn't see any notices about paying the maintenance fee. I would have wanted to cancel the subscription anyway, but at this point they are saying no refunds (even partial). I do not recommend their services.

More than 2 years after I cancelled they have charged my credit card at least twice! They also sell your data so you get spammed. This company is a complete scam. Do not do business with them!
They say call them but you won't get through. They say contact us but you can't, They say they can't find my membership (rightly so because I am not a member) - but they deduct the money just the same. ABSOLUTE THIEVES!!!!!

How could a professional be so wrong? I must admit, Jeff Brown's stock picks were consistent! Unfortunately, all his picks would yield an 80% loss. How can someone profess to know it all, take your money and run? What a disgrace!

STAY AWAY FOLKS FROM THIS COMPANY! It is now January 31, 2024, and I have had to turn collecting over to my credit card company. I was charged twice from this company for Christmas gifts ordered but not delivered. As I stated in a previous review, I gave this company ample time to respond to these outrageous charges. The only time I got their attention is when I asked BBB for their help in this matter. They answered BBB's response by saying they did not want to pay out more than they had given back. What the heck, how can they charge me for something they never delivered! I received billing from this company of $29.99 and $130.95 for those purchases. Your charges came in as seller info: Brownstone Resources; 888-806-2504; modernlifetrend.com. On January 4, 2024, when I received my statement form my card company I saw these charges. On January 4, 2024, I contacted a representative from Capital One about these charges. At that point in time because I did not know the Christmas presents I ordered had not come from you, I told the representative from Capital One I wanted a partial credit of $36.58. I did receive that credit on that very day. However, now that I know your company did not send me these gifts, you still owe me $124.35. The reason I know your company did not send my orders is on my paperwork from PayPal. The order number takes me to a page which the tracking number provided states, "SHIPPING LABEL CREATED, USPS AWAITING ITEM. A SHIPPING HAS BEEN PREPARED FOR YOUR ITEM. A DELIVERY DATE WIIL BE PROVIDED WHEN USPS RECEIVES THE PACKAGE." I never received anything showing this item was shipped. The order number is 9300110944101592035805. Horrible company to deal with. They have even denied being associated with the company they are DBA, modernlifet!

In 2018, in order to have an idea of the Brownstone research, I had to provide my credit card details. In a few days, I realised that I wasn't interested and I unsubscribed before any charge was done. Then, not only I unsubscribed immediately but also I activated the email selection to send to the the spam all their future emails. But few days ago, I received an email that warned me about a renewal yearly payment of $ 129 on Dec. 22/2023. I contacted them immediately and I was able to cancel the subscription (that I never subscribed). I was told that I subscribed again on Dec.22/2021! But this was totally false. I requested a refund for the $129 charge done on 2022 (I didn't know about it) but I am sure they will not do it as I noticed the hundreds and hundreds complains like mine, that were not refunded.
Beware, do not give them your credit card details, as they will use it whenever they want and you will be charged, as they have done with me, even if I didn't receive any report from them and I didn't subscribe with them. Now I asked to have a copy of my subscription request and will wait for it but I know there is no request. They said that the Auto Renewal Notices were sent to me 30 days, 15 days, 7 days and 5 days prior !
This is totally false, in fact I requested to see a copy of these notices but nothing was sent. This is a real scam!
A class action lawsuit is owed to this group.

I paid $ 2,000 to subscribe to Brownstone Exponential Tech Investor. I believed in the companies propaganda. Jeff’s 3 can’t miss picks, which I timely invested in, were big time losers. PRST down 94.24%, RGTI down 84.49, ILMN down 73.59%. Buyer beware!

I am trying to get feedback on Brownstone Research after the biggest con artist of all time Jeff Brown high tailed it out of dodge after stealing money.
Is anyone having success with Colin?

Reply from Brownstone Research
After watching the Early Stage Trader promotional webinar I paid the $2,500 to join. Since then virtually every stock Jeff recommended has lost 90% or more or gone out of business. I feel like I was mislead to believe he had some inside track on these stocks and he could predict when a stock would jump in value based on when they would file with the FDA (Tittle 8) or complete clinical trials Title 21, final countdown forms etc. He talked about "timed" stocks. I know I am not alone on this; a class action may be warranted.

I paid extra for an lifetime subscription. I tried to long on and was deigned. I called and asked why and was told i needed to pay a 25$ a year maintenance fee. It was buried in the sign on agreement. Very Deceptive!

I canceled this program about 2 months after I signed up.
I called the stated number and told the lady to cancel my subscription. On the phone call she said dhe did. My reason? S total lack of results.
I tried for about two months to scrupulously use their research for investing , and NOTHING came up on the positive side. I then started looking at their bulletins excruciatingly closely and found much of it had info that had been put out by other investment firms. None of the ones put out appeared to not be original research. Still, it wasn't good and I canceled.
The operation seemed a bit questionable.
Now they are sending me a Daily subscription renewal of $129. I can't get anyone on the number I had from last year.
I called my bank and they said I wasn't under an obligation to pay under these circumstances.

Throw your money in a barrel, burn it and urinate on the ashes. It will be the same end result as following the Brownstone investing advice.

I lost hundreds of thousands of dollars based on Jeff Browns recommendations. . Why do we not get together as a group and file a class action lawsuit against him .

Brownstone Research, in particular Exponential Tech iInvestor, is a fraud. They have reports about stocks that are over a year old, so they are obviously not current. Furthermore, their no refund policy is ridiculous - they offer you a "credit" for another entity in the Legacy Reseach Group but they are all in bed together. It is really shady...DO NOT BOTHER!

Reply from Brownstone Research
Changed editors for Exponential Tech Investor during my subscription. I was sold on Jeff Brown being the expert providing the insight and recommendations. He was fired as his recommendations were poor and replaced with someone I never heard of. I requested a prorated refund but they only offer to extend the subscription. Terrible experience. I would not recommend anyone subscribe to any of their worthless newsletters!

Disastrous experience totally misled, especially within the biotech sector about the scope for returns. Lost many many tens of thousands and the company walked away from the services by simply closing the positions without any analysis or guidance - they simply abdicated their responsibility. No responses to queries, shameful and disgraceful service and I would never ever suggest anyone follows either Brownstone or the disappearing Jeff Brown. Fastest way to lose your money.

I lost tens of thousands of dollars with my membership. I even paid $4000 for the unlimited memberhip but couldn't handle even one more recommendation from Jeff Brown. After one year they wanted me to pay a fee to continue reading their research reports. I called them to see if they would waive the yearly fee for the next year. They said I had to pay for the next year and they would give me the following year for free along with my unlimited membership. I said goodbye to them at that point. At least I was able to write off the fees I paid as I was a licensed series 7 broker at the time.

Per your request send you my email is not allowed in these reviews. Your response provides no address for me to send my email. More foo pa from Brownstone research. You have my name Jerald Wilks Why can't you find my account?
I invested thousands of dollars with Brownstone Research. Not one stack made me money over the last 2 1/2 years. A couple of the companies recommended stock price dropped to zero, many many more sustained losses in the 45 to 85% area . As bad, he apparently was fired from Brownstone Research by the parent company that owns them. A couple of months ago He literally disappeared from his company with no word or explanation. He’s been replaced by some person unknown to me. Do not invest in this company or any other company associated with Jeff Brown.

I need to cancel my credit card because they automatically charge it after I subscribe for a promo. They claimed they send an email and I did not reply so they charge my card. Legally "no reply" means NO. Except for scammers like this company.
BEWARE AGAIN!! I am getting emails from this company again ( 9/18/2023). Their scam is active - PROMO emails - big discount. THIS IS A SCAM.
