Fishback Management and Research, Inc. Don Fishback Advertising scam Lexington Kentucky
On August 23, 2015 I responded to a advertisement for a online stock option advisery service called "Odds Proven Income" for a one month trial for $4.95. I did not notice the fine print that said I would have to call within one month in order to cancel. Today, I noticed that I had been charged $49.50 three times since, on 9/23/15, 10/23/15, and most recently, on 11/23/15. I consider this a scam because the requirement to call is in fine print, and the tone of the ad is that this is simply a trial. This is a common scam that is seen in ads for trials for cosmetic products, and I suspect that this type of scam is used frequently by other product offers. I called Fishback Management, and they agreed to refund my most recent charge on 11/23/15, but they refused to refund the earlier charges. I would very much like to get a refund of the previous two charges for a service that I never knew I had, and never used. But most important, I would like to bring attention to this company for deliberate use of dishonest ways of selling its products.

I've taught finance, economics and business law to industry professionals and consumers for three decades. I've subscribed to Fishback's service, and I can assure you there's nothing wrong with their marketing materials, strategies or disclosures. I'm writing this because I saw somebody commented here that his materials were somehow deceptive and it infuriated me because it's just an unfair attack on a very reputable business. And in my experienced professional opinion, a ridiculous false claim. Very simply, reputable businesses such as as Don Fishback's need sensible cancelation and refund policies to keep unscrupulous folks and from getting access to products and services without paying for them. His marketing materials are clear and concise. And so are his options explanations -- it's the type of clear communication born of decades of explaining complex subjects to thousands of people. He teaches Honors courses at the University of Kentucky folks, his reputation is sterling. His ODDS strategies are solid and innovative. I've met Don Fishback and I can tell you he's brilliant, he's ethical, he's principled and just a solid gold type of person. I would recommend him personally to anyone, and will continue to recommend his systems and strategies without reservation to anyone seeking to understand options and investment strategies.
