On April 12, 2023, I purchased a 2 year subscription to Currency Trader for $1495 USD. The last trading advice I received was on May *******. On June *******, I received notice that Currency Trader was being discontinued. I requested a refund because the service I had contracted for was no longer being provided. My request has twice been denied stating that my subscription did not offer refunds. I believe I am entitled to a pro rata refund because I am not receiving the subscription I had contracted for. The company unilaterally decided to end Currency Trader and wanted me to switch to a different subscription which I find unacceptable. The company defaulted on its contractual obligation and should be required to refund the remainder of my money.Business Response

We greatly value your feedback and want to assure you that we take such matters very seriously. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused and acknowledge the concern raised.
Currency Trader was launched in 2022 with the mission of trading foreign currency (forex) for quick profits. While we still believe in this mission, there are times when difficult business decisions must be made, including the closure of certain publications.
The subscriber purchased Currency Trader at a deeply discounted price of $1,495.00 on 4/12/2023, which was valid for two years. The usual price for one year is $4,000.00. Unfortunately, due to a challenging business decision, we are unable to continue the service. To address this, we carefully matched the subscriber with a service similar to the original subscription that we believe will be beneficial.
As such, the subscriber has been given access to Currency Wizard by ***** ******** under The Opportunistic Trader, following the same terms as the original subscription.
The subscriber contacted us via email on 6/12/2024, indicating that the email regarding the next steps after **** Gam's departure was not received. We promptly sent an email with instructions on accessing the new service. However, the subscriber requested a refund for the remaining portion of the service.
According to the Terms and Conditions agreed upon at the time of subscription, there is a 90-day store credit guarantee, with no refunds explicitly stated before and after the order completion. The changes that occurred are also outlined in the Terms of Use, which are accessible on our website.
As specified in Section 4 of our Terms of ************** reserve the right to change, modify or discontinue any Content or any portion or feature of the Services. Such changes may include, but are not limited to, adding or removing particular Outside Contributors or Our Representatives, ceasing to provide access to a Service (and/or providing an alternative Service to you as a replacement), or changing the terms of engagement for a Service. We may make these changes or modifications at our sole discretion, either temporarily or permanently, at any time or from time to time, with or without notice to you. You agree that Omnia shall not be liable to you or any third party for any such change or modification of the Content and/or Services and that your continued use of the changed or modified Content and/or Services, and/or continued access to the changed or modified Content and/or Services, constitutes your acceptance of any such changes or modifications.
Therefore, we regret that we are unable to provide a refund.
Rest assured, we remain committed to transparency and customer satisfaction. Should further assistance be needed, please contact us at ************** or email us at ****************************************Customer Answer

Complaint: 21860636
I am rejecting this response because: 1. Even in their reply they obfuscate in that I never said I didn't receive their first email. What I wanted was a refund because they discontinued the service I had purchased.2. They hide in their terms that they can make changes but that section does not explicitly state that they cannot give refunds.
3. They have offered a credit of $621.77 to spend on other products which are useless to me as a senior who is winding down his investments. If they can give a credit, surely they are capable of giving such a small refund.
4. The fact that the price was discounted is immaterial. If I bought a loss leader at a department store and it proved not to be as advertised, I would get a refund. ************ merely demonstrates that they do not have the integrity to stand behind their advertised products. They obviously do not understand or care about excellent customer service.

We appreciate your attention to the members complaint regarding the subscription to Currency Trader. We understand the concerns raised and wish to provide a detailed explanation.
We acknowledge that the member is seeking a refund due to the discontinuation of the Currency Trader service. At the time of subscription, the member agreed to our Terms and Conditions, which include a 90-day OMNIA store credit guarantee. These terms explicitly state that cash refunds are not provided, a policy accepted by the customer upon subscribing. This policy remains consistent regardless of any internal changes within our company.
We understand the impact that the discontinuation of Currency Trader has on the customers investment strategy. In response, we have offered access to Currency Wizard by ***** ********, an alternative service that continues to provide forex trading guidance similar to the original offering. This transition aims to align closely with the customers previous service.
To address the customer's dissatisfaction, we have provided support by helping identify other suitable services within our network that might better meet their investment needs. Despite these efforts, the member still requests for a cash refund spite of our clearly communicated policy.
We reached out to the member and reached a compromise that satisfied both parties. The customer agreed to the compromise, resolving the concern, demonstrating our commitment to providing high-quality service and support to all our subscribers.
We remain committed to ensuring transparency and maintaining high-quality service. For further assistance, the customer is encouraged to contact us directly at *************** or email ***************************************************************.

I am rejecting this response because:While I appreciate the settlement that was reached, I am not happy with the amount of effort that was required on my part to achieve it. When they are the party that is defaulting on the initial agreement, good customer service on their part would be offering a refund as one of the initial options for affected clients and not as a last resort because of BBB complaints and unfavorable reviews online.

I paid $1695 USD for Jeff Clark Currency Trader on Jan 31, 2024. Welcome msg said that if service canceled, $1695 credit applicable to Jeff Clark Trader's corporate affiliates. Customer service will not apply my cancellation credit to corporate affiliate TradeSmith. Welcome msg is misleading. Jeff Clark's Market Minute emails promote TradeSmith's products. Welcome msg as well as Currency Trader email advertising video do not mention that cancellation credit only applicable to Omnia Research products and unused credit expires after one year. I have a lifetime subscription to Jeff Clark Trader yet a credit cannot be valid as long as it is not used. My Jeff Clark Trader account is identified by my email address.Business Response

Thank you for providing your feedback. We want to assure you that we take situations like this very seriously.
Please be advised that the subscriber had access to our Currency Trader publication which was ordered on 1/31/2024 and provides access to all updates/contents and recommendations from the publication that are provided via email, our mobile app, and our website.
The service focuses on multiple top-notch fiat currency trading recommendations. It includes all aspects of buying, selling, and exchanging currencies at current or determined prices. The subscription also provides instructions for every recommendation and the subscriber can call us at ###-###-####, or email us at ********************************** should the subscriber need assistance.
As stated under the Terms and Conditions of the subscription, it includes a 90-day Omnia store credit guarantee, no cash refunds, as disclosed before and after completing the order.
The subscriber requested to cancel the subscription on 03/28/2024 and was provided with the full store credits that are valid for 1 year and can be used to purchase publications from us or our affiliates within the company, Omnia Research, which includes New Paradigm Research and Opportunistic Trader.
While we do promote other brands, as stated in our Welcome Letter that the customer received upon subscribing, the credit is good only for any other publication from us or our corporate affiliates at Omnia Research. We also want to ensure utmost transparency, so we encourage referring to the terms and conditions we shared with our subscribers.
Rest assured, we reached out to the subscriber to provide our catalog. Should the subscriber have any further inquiries, the subscriber may reach out to us and we would be very happy to assist.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:The marketing message - before purchase - and the welcome message - after purchase - do not contain a link neither to ‘ terms and conditions ‘ nor to any catalog of corporate affiliates. In addition, there is no mention that a cancellation credit expires after one year. Lifetime subscribers to Jeff Clark Trader - like myself - should be allowed to use a credit for up to 5 years.
Only after becoming a subscriber and after receiving a reply from customer service, does one learn that “corporate affiliate” TradeSmith is not a real corporate affiliate when it comes to applying a cancellation credit. Their claim of transparency is unacceptable.
Their reply states that cash refunds are not given yet that has nothing to do with my complaint.
Omnia Research’s reply is at best nebulous at worst deliberately misleading.
Sincerely,
***** ******Business Response

We value all feedback and are dedicated to providing clarity on this matter.
The terms and conditions were transparently presented and easily accessible at the time of purchase, ensuring subscribers were fully informed about subscription terms, including cancellation and credit policies.
Our representative reiterated the 90-day credit policy on the day of purchase for Jeff Clark Currency Trader on January 31st, 2024. All representatives are required to inform subscribers that canceled subscriptions receive credit valid for one year. Our marketing and welcome messages are also carefully crafted to clearly communicate key terms, with instructions on accessing our terms and conditions. We prioritize the upfront provision of all relevant information to our subscribers. While we understand the member's perspective on extending this period for lifetime subscribers, our current policy applies uniformly to ensure consistency and fairness to all subscribers.
The term “corporate affiliates refers to entities within Omnia Research. While we promote products from various brands, credits are applicable only to our direct affiliates under Omnia Research. This distinction is outlined in the terms provided at the time of subscription.
During the cancellation on March 28, 2024, the member accepted the cancellation cancellation terms and conditions, including credit usage and the one-year validity period. Our representative noted the members' understanding and his desire to switch to Delta Report, addressing his primary concern, as he acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions.
Upon review, the member was well aware of the terms, as evident from previous interactions with our representatives. His initial request to switch to Delta Report if he cancels indicates his understanding of the terms at that time.
Our policy of providing store credits instead of cash refunds is explicitly stated in our terms to offer subscribers flexibility in exploring other products within our offerings.
We have contacted the member to provide a detailed catalog of eligible publications to ensure full credit utilization, demonstrating our commitment to high-quality service and support to all our subscribers.
For any further questions or clarification, please don't hesitate to contact our customer service team at ###-###-#### or via email at **********************************.

I started a subscription with this firm, after a few months I cancelled the subscription.
Then they started charging my credit card again, once again I called to cancel my subscription, and yet they still charged my credit card again. So I called them again and they still charged my account...
Now they won't give me a refund or even talk to me.

I want to file a complaint against Omnia Research LLC.
On 4/19/2023 I purchased their product “Currency Wizard” by ***** ********. In the webinar big promises were made. “beta testers had the chance to average $566 gains every week” and “Trade 3 currencies – make thousands a month”. ***** supposedly made millions in the currency trade.
I paid $2000 for a two years’ subscription. They offered a 90-day money back guarantee.
The first 3 months there were a number of forex trade alerts with mixed results, not even close to the $566 gains per week. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and did not cancel my subscription after 90 days.
The next three months brought sporadic forex trade alerts. Strangely enough ***** issued two regular stock trades outside forex. Apparently, forex was not as lucrative as had been projected and they diverted to the stock market. This was not what I expected from a forex investment product. I concluded that the “Currency Wizard” subscription is very disappointing.
On 10/29/2023 I cancelled the subscription. They did not want to refund the whole $2000, but “a prorated credit of $1,469.22 has been approved as a courtesy”. The refund could only be used for the purchase of one of their other products. I have nothing to show for the lost amount of $540.78, but am willing to accept that loss.
After reviewing Omnia’s other products, I concluded there was nothing that would be useful to me. I already have a number of their other products and do not need more. So, I pleaded several times for a refund in cash. This was refused 3 times. I found this very disappointing as Omnia would sit on my unused money for which they offered no useful alternative.
They agreed to cancel my subscription after six months, but then do not want to release the unused portion of my payment. I consider this bad customer service and disregard for one of their loyal customers. I hereby ask for your support to help me get a credit card refund in the amount of $1,469.22.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:I do not agree with the reply from Omnia Research.
I purchased the Currency Wizard subscription as a result of
a webinar. The presented currency trade results were what I needed for my dire
financial situation. As I indicated in my initial complaint, the results during
the 90-day guarantee period were bad. The presentation sounded so convincing
that I gave Omnia the benefit of the doubt and expected better results going
forward. These profits did not come in the next 3 months, so I asked for the
subscription to be canceled and a refund to be issued. I appreciate the
conservation of the remainder of the subscription fee.
The courtesy credit valid for one year does not offer me a
viable solution. I already have a number of Omnia’s products and do not need
more, or want more and cannot afford more. I do not have enough funds to be
able to benefit from other investment programs. A cash refund is the only thing
that would help me in this tight financial situation. I call upon your claim
for exceptional service and grant me a cash refund.

I purchased The Opportunistic Trader for $1500 on 9/13 with all kinds of promises but lost money on my first two trades in the amount of $16000. I asked for a full refund on 9/30 in their cancellation form and only received a form response that 'they will get back with me'. On Oct 4 I received an email 'Sell All Open Trades at Market Prices' which certainly seemed fishy. Are they saying that all of their investment selections are losing money and dump them before they lose more? Or are they saying that they lost track of them and need subscribers to figure it out? After 10/4 until 10/13 I received nothing until I received 2 recommendations. I called on 10/5 and asked for a full refund on both subscriptions and did receive 2 refunds, both for One Ticket Trader. I again filled out the refund form and received the message that I could only receive a credit for an Omnia Research product without any reference as to what services are in Omnia Research. What is the lack of information all about other than to have me just give up and eat the cost of their service. At the very least, the credit should be towards Marketwise products since they own Opportunistic Trader along with many others. Not that I want any of them but at least it would be a choice. This type of company gives them all a bad name and there are a few, very few, that stand by their product and will actually give you a full cash refund. Only a cash refund would satisfy me.Business Response

Greetings Ralph ********
Thank you for your feedback. Be assured that we take cases such as these with utmost seriousness. Please be advised, the subscriber ordered The Opportunistic Trader on 9/13/2022 with a 90-day Omnia store credits guarantee wherein the subscriber can cancel the subscription for credits and use it towards any of our or affiliate's products only, Jeff ***** Trader. In addition to this, the subscriber also ordered our One Ticker Trader publication twice at $19.00 each with a 60-day money-back guarantee. Upon review of the subscriber's account, the One Ticker Trader subscription was canceled and was refunded with two(2) $19.00 within our 60-day money-back guarantee period which should reflect the original form of payment in 5-7 business days after the cancel date, 10/5/2022. On the other hand, the subscriber's The Opportunistic Trader subscription provides the best Options recommendations every Monday and Friday via email, mobile app, and our website, and the subscriber may still take advantage of the 90-day subscription guarantee. We also provide several ways to manage the subscription. The subscriber can call us at (XXX) XXX-XXXX, email us at **************@opportunistictrader.com or use the MyAccount feature on our website. Finally, when markets become volatile, it's very easy to give into fear and panic. As individual investors, we should always feel empowered to make decisions that are best for us. This is why we recommend risk management and position sizing, especially with options trading since it is very volatile. If the subscriber is new to investing, we recommend purchasing one contract per recommendation and staying within the risk tolerance level until the subscriber is ready and comfortable to increase the risk. We will always provide updates and alerts if we ever recommend selling a position. We have also reached out to the subscriber to offer assistance with his subscription and to provide more information about where he can use his store credits into.
