*SCAM* JOHN LANSING Trending123.com




*CONFIRMED SCAM*

JOHN LANSING


Trending123.com



COMPLAINT #1


Trending123.com offers a 14 day free trial. However, it took me about 20 emails to finally get them to cancel within that 14 day period, and then they still charged my credit card after cancelling my account during the trial period.

Now, they won't answer my emails, nor will they give me access to their website, but they kept my money. John Lansing from trending123.com is a crook and should be in jail.


I have emails stating that my account was cancelled during the trial period (in case anyone doubts me) and now nobody will respond to my refund requests. I actually posted my problem on their own sites message board to let the other members know what was happening to me (before I actually got my cancellation confirmation) and the message was deleted by John Lansing within 5 minutes of my posting it.

That's when I finally got my cancellation confirmation and I thought the whole deal was done...until I checked my credit card statement that is. I am currently working with my credit card company to have the charges reversed, but there is no way I should have to go through all this trouble...and there is no way any company should just keep somebodys money that is not rightfully theirs.

Many sites offer free trial periods and that is great, however, DO NOT SIGN UP FOR TRENDING123.COM....THEY WILL KEEP YOUR MONEY EVEN IF YOU CANCEL DURING THE TRIAL PERIOD (ASSUMING THAT YOU CAN EVEN DO THAT....THEY MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT)!

Actually, Trending 123 makes false claims on it's websites. He recently sent out a free letter that stated he was 110% sure the market was going to crash and that all the analyst will tell you the grass is green, but he will tell you the truth. He was certain that the markets were in a broadening triangle and he was invested in QID/SDS/DXD. He lost 5% before he reversed and decided to go long. He never referenced it on his next letter. He is notorious for making really bad calls on stocks and when it goes bad, he disappears. He leaves, will not go into the trading room and hides until the subscribers who are damaged leave. He is not as smart as he thinks he is and numerous clients have lost thousands following his advice.

COMPLAINT #3

TO THIS DAY I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY OF MY MONEY BACK!!
This guy is a total scammer! His recommendations have cost my family tens of thousands of dollars!! Im 74 years old and I was using my retirement to trade on his recommendations and now I'm stuck with even less money than we started with. John Lansing should be sent to jail with Bernie Maddoff! Stay away from Trending123.com if it is that last thing you do! Trust me, I've lost money, you don't have to!

I have been a subscriber with T123 for nearly a year and will terminate soon when current subscription end. Objectively, i agree with some of the comment that rocketman said. The site owner would disappear when portfolio turns bad. The site is best used for education purpose as there are really good idea flows at the the forum. I learnt most from the forum members. That is probably why the site still exist with voluntary contribution from forum members. In fact, my trading plan and strategy was developed with inputs from forum members.
As i observe from the chat room too. Members who don't complain much are those who didn't trade his recommendation.
But end of the day, T123 trades results should tell the truth and facts of the site quality. To date (4Jul08), the open stock portfolio amount to -663.99% loss. The option portfolio amount to -796.03% loss. There are currently more than 30 open stocks with most losses more than 50% and some holding more than a year. The options portfolio are mostly loser with more than 90% losses. The strategy used by the site is hloding the loser until it becomes a winner again and no stop loss is used.
The site is once a good site but i think the site owner seem to have some personal issues and could no longer attend to complaint and totally ignore member suggestion and complaints. Just recently he was away for 2 weeks without a proper and prominent posting of his absence on site home page or forum. Coincidentally, he choose to be away when market tumble. Furthermore, there was only one update of the winning open trade (not close yet; paper gain only)and no mention of how to mange the losing trades. Just yesterday he has given excuses of forum spam and shut down the forum until further notice.
So for trade education and mingling with other like-minded traders, this site is worth considering but quality is deteriorating. For trade recommendation, u must be ready to accept very long time frame and big losses. You can't complaint on the portfolio as you will be banned and labelled as negative and rat brain. The site owner is very defensive and he is good talker. He will not wait to talk you down and shut you out of the forum or chat room. Many good members has since left the site and the forum has less topics nowadays.
Lastly, i am very subspicious of love123. The way he writes reminded me of the way the site owner talk. That is, talk you down. Moreover, how would one love t123 when his portfolio is down so much unless he/she really got tons of money to burn. Otherwise, i am fine with the site for education purpose but not for long.

  3. I was used trending123 for 5 years & followed every trade. I took my IRA account from $65000 to $12000 ( a bummer) & now that I let my subscription expire , I sent him an email the reason why I did not renew - he did reply, saying that thank god I am no longer a member & no longer emailing him, he finally got a whole string of profits ( like I was the one who gave him bad luck). He shorted the marked with triple index funds since before November 2012 & was still short as of April 5th , also shorted IWM , an index that pays dividends - guess what, I had to pay the dividends. The majority of his long stocks lost between 25 - 80% and doesn't use stops - moral of the story DON'T USE THAT SERVICE AS YOU WILL LOOSE EVERYTHING ( just take a look at his past record)
