This motley crew really lives up to its name. These guys are upsell scammers and try to make fools of their clients. I have paid for their services and discovered that any purchase you make is really just an avenue to upsell. If you buy any service, you'll get an email right away, even before you get the goods, to buy more.After some frustration, I let my subscriptions lapse. Then recently, I got an email asking if I wanted "five free stock tips". Like a fool I clicked the link but, not wanting to get extra emails in my regular inbox, I used my alternative email address.Well, I never got the "five free stock tips", they never arrived. Then when I didn't respond to their upsell, they wrote asking "where did you go?" I replied I didn't get the stock tips and got a BS answer that they would be coming (check my junk, etc). Nope, nothing, nada. But here's what I did get...My email was FLOODED nearly 30 emails! Yup, you read that correctly, in one week. For proof, here are the subject lines of these missives (verbatim):Hey, where did you go?Originally $199, yours at no extra chargeIn case you missed it [I did not]Time is running out [clearly untrue]This one stock is 20,000X smaller than NvidiaIt’s the final countdown [I thought I already missed it?]In case you missed it [wait, what?]If you haven’t joined by now… [ya think?]World’s largest AI is coming to AlbertaIberta wins race for world’s largest AIShark Tank Millionaire Unveils World’s Largest AIReady to Learn About the Next Tech Revolution?Let’s talk about our Tier ZERO Investing Event [let's not]REVEALED: The Tier ZERO Opportunity [see above]This Opportunity Isn’t for Everyone—Is It for You?

Stock Advisor Canada could help. [this came this morning, despite that last one saying "Farewell"]-----------If you're still reading, and who can blame anyone who is not, Motley Fool is just a vehicle to hard core upsell and little else. They have ZERO respect for their clients. If they did, they wouldn't do this crap. Frankly, this abuse should be illegal. It's really just a brand of phishing if you think about it.Unless you want to be insanely harassed online like you've never been in your life, stay away from this company. Don't be made a fool by these motley scam artists!The Junk button on your email should pop up with the following: "Use to stop crap, like Motley Fool".Update (Feb 9, 2025): I've now received an additional 18 emails in my Inbox and it doesn't help much to Junk the emails since they come from different people at TMF and/or different emails. I guess I'll just block all their domains info.fool.ca and fool.com Foolish fools.Update (Feb 14, 2025): I have now totally blocked these Motley emails at 50 emails! They are jamming my Inbox with so much garbage, having never even sent me the first offer that was requested. This is nothing more than an email scraping scam. Unless you like getting a lot of useless emails, avoid these Fools.
