The Motley Fool UK Avis 183

I stupidly keyed in my spam email to a link promising a report of "5 Stocks for Trying to Build Wealth After 50". I keyed in my email as requested. It took me to a page that said "Thanks for your interest in our 5 Stocks For Trying To Build Wealth Over 50 report which will be delivered to your inbox very shortly."

After 5 days and 8 emails trying to get me to sign up and flash sales ending tonight et cetera, no report.

I get that you're a commercial organisation, but how am I meant to check your credibility as an active investor if you won't share a report that you said you would.

I get all the payment and cancel within 30 days and jump through hoops of fire to waste my time, but seriously 8 emails in 5 days is pretty pushy in my book. Because the report wasn't shared the two words clickbait and spam spring to mind.

You got me, I've been Motley Fooled.

How can you assume most people in their 40s can afford to invest £20000 on your advice. Guess it's not aimed at your average middle of the road person. Just highend knobs who have more money the sense.

I find the information shared by motley fool to be food for thought, I always check for myself and if it aligns with my investment strategy then I invest. The subscription for me has paid for itself, i can't talk for anyone else and there is always room for improvement I am sure.

These are professional scammers. Stay away. All you receive from your 1st payment is email after email asking for more money. You get nothing for your first payment, you are invited to webinars if you pay more, you are offered advice if you pay more, they repeat the same thing over and over about how they mentioned NVIDIA a year ago, everyone was talking about nvidia a year ago let it go.

Had a great experience using Motley Fool. The regular Monthly updates for stocks to watch has really enhanced my portfolio and like the daily updates on stocks and markets are useful to make informed decisions.

However, the litmus test for me, for any business, is their customer service. They are prompt and address any queries I have had which is a real breath of fresh air these days. No automated bots or AI responses and they tailor each response to the request you have made. Just for context, my queries have been regarding how to upgrade my subscription as I have been so happy with the service and looking to expand my portfolio into other markets.

Thoroughly recommend!!!

Great service - v swift response times and always professional

Been a member for a couple of years, good service, particularly if you’re new to investing. I can also recommend them for their customer support. Had a small issue, they got back to me in 24hrs, resolved the issue no quibbles. Great customer service.

My experience with The Motley Fool has been nothing but positive.
I can honestly say my only regret is that I wish I had committed to the share advisor years ago. Every segment of the Motley Fool has been a great learning experience with tonnes of knowledge being shared. All of this for what is a very small price.
An overall excellent service.

I applied for membership and joined (with a money-back guarantee). I was supposed to see 'secret' recommendations.
But I can't see the recommendations and I am continually bombarded with messages to join again.

I have followed motley fool for a number of years.
For some reason they always give a don't buy on Rolls Royce plc.They have been made to look absolutely stupid.I ignored their advice and added RR to my portfolio. I bought at 1.15 a share , motley still said don't buy , as they did when the share price went to 3 -5 -8 -10.Im just glad I ignored their advice. I've done tremendously well out of RR.I just wonder what MF have against one of the best success stories of British Manufacturing.

I am writing to warn people against this Motly Fool. You are a total fool if you sign up. I signed up for a six month trial they took a full year of £149.00 out of my account. I phoned them e mailed for a complete refund of the money they stole. So it only people would stop signing up to this company. They don’t get back to you customer service is shocking and 5hey steal money without any authorisation. Do not sign up to Motley Fool because you are a fool to join them.

I made the mistake of sending this company my email address supposedly to get a free report. Not only did I not get the report but I immediately started to receive unsolicited junk mail.

Although I checked the box to allow the MotleyFool to send me unsolicited emails I did not agree to receiving emails from third parties.

The Motley Fool company is a complete scam. They offer 30 days money back guarantee. I paid for the trial period and 2 weeks later they took another payment. I have written the company to terminate my subscription and refund my 2 unauthorised payments. Unfortunately I did not check their reviews.Once I have received my payments back then I will edit my review.

I have been using advice and tips from Motley Fool for several years now. Generally I am happy enough. Out of 13 recommendations on which I have acted, four have lost value but nine have increased in value, some showing substantial gains. MF have certainly set me on the right road but it's possible that I may move elsewhere to find a more global approach.

The basic Share Advisor service is okay: I followed mostly “ice” recommendations with fair to mixed results. However, ones I have had most success with were not MF recommendations - as a non expert, maybe I was lucky. I don’t like the pushy advertising for premium products, also the recommendations in Share Advisor are rather repetitive. I’m not sure if I will renew.

I subscribe to the Share Advisor service and have done for 5 years now. I've had experience of both success and failure, with the upside firmly in the lead.

I like both fire and ice recommendations and I am happy to consider investing in the US. I don't go for every recommendation and have, perhaps, been lucky so far.
The greatest success has come from the US recommendations; these tend to be technology companies and are, by definition, more fire than ice. But timing is important - both to get in and especially to get out.
On balance am I happy with the service? Yes, I am and I intend to stick with it.

Sensationalist, pushy marketing of unlimited wealth fantasies using the type of 'time critical' pressure tactics that their official mission statement would presumably deplore - apparently not. I inadvertently got locked into another year of Share Advisor, I'll be making sure I unsubscribe well in advance of the end of the year.

I have been using MF for a number of years and find they are useful for highlighting good quality companies with long term growth potential. Overall they are a good balance with other sources of information. Using their basic service I have not been disappointed with the recommendations I have chosen to buy, with all delivering steady growth and good dividends.

I've been with this company for a number of years now and have to say that I find their recomendations and reviews clear and detailed; as much as I require, allowing me to decide how to proceed. The adventure or fire stocks are, I find, just that and the more stable "ICE"again as described. When looking for an investment I want a degree of reasurance that its not just wild flyer. I'm not ritch just a saver looking for a better return on my savings. As such I dont wish to suffer heavey losses on wild speculative guesses. I find the the Foolish advice is just at the right leval for me given I may know nothing about the industry I'm investing in. I cant take every share recomendation nor do I believe its intended I should. I chose. Its not perfict, I have lost money but over all I'm ahead of where I would have been had I put the money into a savings bank. I have to say I'm satisfied with my dealings with this company and that's a good score given the nature of the business.

Always ready to help. They answer the phone right away to answer any of my queries and to give advice.
Often have free trades to the USA market.
