      I was charged $51.60 from Agora LLC, without my knowledge or consent! I need my money back as soon as possible, I just got a new debit card because of fraud and my money is being taken again!

      Hey there,

      We reviewed our system thoroughly and were unable to locate any customer account or transaction matching you.

      It appears you've reached the wrong Agora. Several unrelated companies share similar names, and this charge did not originate from us.

      We recommend contacting your bank to identify the correct merchant responsible for the transaction so it can be resolved quickly.

      I began receiving unsolicited spam emails from Agora Financial back in 2005. I unsubscribed from these emails when I received them, but an interesting effect happened. The amount of spam suddenly multiplied tenfold. I realized that by "unsubscribing" from their email lists, they would simply verify that my email address existed, and then forward it to another of their byzantine network of REMOVEDcompanies -- who would then ruthlessly spam my email address. Each email requiring yet another "unsubscribe" request, which only resulted in receiving even more spam email. I have been playing this Agora Financial spam game for over 20 years now. I have even called the home office several times over the years to demand my email address be removed. Friendly employees guarantee they will remove my email address from all of their lists and their subsidiary lists, as well. This only creates more and more spam emails coming to my email address. They have mastered a game of deception, where they cynically claim, "Well, this spam email isn't DIRECTLY from us, but it's from Financial Buzz or REMOVEDMedia." These firms, conveniently, ARE ALL CONNECTED TO AGORA FINANCIAL despite their dishonest claims. This firm needs to be forcibly closed down by the REMOVEDdue to their scam network that's been running unhindered for decades.

      Hi REMOVED,

      The instances you noted were not sent directly from us, but from our advertising partners. We regret the inconvenience this has caused.

      To address your concerns, we have initiated the process to remove your information from all of our internal databases and placed your email address on our permanent no contact list. This process also involves notifying our advertising partners so they can update their records accordingly. While it may take a short period of time for all systems and partners to reflect this change, your request has been documented and actioned to prevent future outreach.

      Ms. REMOVED,

      We have no record of your account from the information you provided. Nothing is linked to the email address or the physical address you've listed here. We have attempted to reach you several times over the last few days, calling the number you provided and leaving a voicemail, as well as a follow-up email. Without more information to find your account we are unable to refund any erroneous charges you may have incurred.

      If you can contact us at the phone number we left on the voicemail or let us know a different email or physical address your account may have been tied to, we can get to work addressing this.

      Sincerely,

      Agora Financial

      Agora DBA Paradigm Pres, Event Horizon and several other shell companies loves to keep spamming. People don't appreciate that you registered hundreds of Namecheap domains and are using REMOVEDto send spam. Your unsubscribe links don't work and you know that already. Enough is enough. 99.5% of your emails end up in the trash immediately. The relentless spam campaigns from REMOVEDand REMOVEDreally aren't helping your company with credibility. Your going to end up getting people hurt. Can we stop this already before things take turns you don't want them to go to? The truth is coming out, we all know where the ends meet. You can't continue these campaigns forever.End this already

      Mr. REMOVED,

      Thank you for reaching out with your advertising issue. First off, I want to say that we take spamming and unsolicited advertising very seriously here at Paradigm. Anytime a customer asks to be removed from our promotions, we absolutely follow the rules. I can also assure you that we are a legitimate business with thousands of happy customers.

      However, using the information you provided doesnt bring up anything for you in our database. I hope you can share one or some of the emails you have been receiving from us at Paradigm or let me know if you use another email address. I want to ensure we resolve this issue as quickly as possible. Please forward any relevant emails to REMOVED. I have also reached out to our partners, as you may have had a prior relationship with them before receiving anything from Paradigm. Rest assured, I will do everything in my power to remove your email address from any Paradigm list. Thanks again for reaching out, and I look forward to helping you resolve this issue.

      Sincerely,

      Agora Financial

      A few months ago we bought what we 4thought was a 1 time fee based scenario with Jim Rickards Strategic Intelligence. Now come to find they have been charging us $49 a month for who knows how long and there is no way to get in touch with these people. I am not sure what to do but I want a full refund on all charges.

      Dear Anne REMOVED:



      Thank you for your recent response to Stephen REMOVED. We have not yet heard from the consumer and are closing this case as answered.



      Following our usual procedure, BBB notified the consumer of your response and requested notification of whether or not a satisfactory resolution had been reached.  Unfortunately, the consumer has not notified our office if they are satisfied. BBB has determined that your company has addressed the issues within the complaint; therefore we have closed this case in our files. This matter will appear in your BBB Business Profile as: "Answered - The Business addressed the issues within the complaint, but the consumer did not accept the response, OR BBB has not heard back from the consumer as to their satisfaction."



      The text of your response may be publicly posted on BBB's website. BBB reserves the right to not post in accordance with BBB policy, and we may edit your response to protect privacy rights and to remove inappropriate language. 

       

      In the event the consumer contacts BBB again regarding this issue, we may reach out to you to review any new or additional information we've received from the consumer.
