I find that I am not alone in my anger with Brownstone Research. I discovered in my bank statement a charge of $US 129 for some service that I did not sign up for. I have been trying to extricate myself from Brownstone for some years now, with little success. Their unsolicited mail (and from a host of other sites that seem to be affiliated) is like an infection that you cannot cure – my conclusion is that Brownstone is close to a scam.
