Business ProfileforUS Markets

US Markets indicates on its website that it offers newsletters ranging in price from $149 to $349 per month for tips on investing in the stock market.  However, in August 2013 BBB received information from a consumer that the company instead charges a fee of $349 as an initial payment for participating in their training program.  Further it is reported that the company charged a fee of $17,000, a "discount" from the ususal $50,000 fee, to provide a series of CDs and a computer for a consumer's use in investing in the stock market.

In September 2013 BBB received a second inquiry from a consumer who reported the company offered them an opportunity to "join" the company for a fee of $349 which would provide training and allow them to make investments through US Markets for additional fees.

The company's website lists the business address as being in Richmond, VA; however, a company representative told a consumer in August 2013 that the company is located in Arizona.  The phone number on the website is not in service and certified mail to the company's Richmond address has been returned "unclaimed."  In August 2013 BBB staff drove by the Hull Street address and the building is empty and is for rent.
