My Apple Investment Company Experience
I have had a disappointing experience.
No, not with the company that makes iPhone. Apple Investment Company runs a investment service in Australia. It’s not easy writing this since I’ve always believed that if you don’t have anything good to say about someone, then don’t say anything at all. Apple Investment Company did have some positives but unfortunately, the overwhelming negatives made the experience regrettable. This page is dedicated to sharing my experiences. Something I wish I had been able to read before I became a customer. I need to be very careful with what I say here since I am not a licensed financial service provider so I can only comment on the facts of my dealings with them. This means I cannot advise on whether you should or should not use Apple Investment Company. Additionally, I have never used their software without bugs. Therefore, I can’t comment on how effective the software is when it is working as it should, nor can I comment on whether or not it can make you solid returns.
January – March 2010
I became a customer in January. For 3 months, I experienced a comedy of errors and disappointments. I will list them here one day. It really is entertaining.

Although I’m not entitled to a refund, I have requested one for various reasons.
6th August 2010
Still waiting for a refund. The reason I’m holding back on publishing the disappointments is because they said “you need to remove complaints about us, while a refund contract can be organised”. As an example, they said that publishing information on OZRipOff is what is actually delaying the refund.

I’m in a vicious circle. It goes something like this…
- I give Apple Investment Company the chance to refund a very disappointed customer
- Refund doesn’t come
- I feel even more disappointed and feel obliged to share my experience in a public message
- Apple Investment Company finds the public complaint and kindly informs me a refund will come if I remove or retract it
- I comply
- Go to Step 1
This cycle has happened several times now. Today was Step 2 of the cycle.
26th August 2010
Step 3 of the cycle today. I’ve made this post public again.
After 8 months of disappointments I’m thinking I no longer want a refund if it means I need to be silent and unable to share my experiences. At least it might break the cycle.

We have been receiving several calls from Apple Investsments so thank you for the ‘heads-up’. We thought something sounded amiss when they wanted $100 fee just so we could view their presentation!! I have never heard of anything so silly as paying for the privelage of being presented with reasons of why you should buy their product……..
They call ALL day and ALL night and always call from private numbers. They call late at night and cannot seem to take no for an answer. They are pushy and persistant and I can see how vulnerable people would fall pray to their demanding tactics.
I hope ASIC and the criminal justice organisations nails their sociopathic heads to wall!
Hi found your site bevcause I just had a phone call from these people in NZ claiming that I had requested info and that I had mone;y to invest. When I queried this I’m not that forgetful. They claimed that they had recorded myi phone call and I had agreed to talk further. Not sure if they mentioned a presentation but did say it was a follow up call…… Is this just the hard sell of the day?
I joined in January (not cheap) hoping to achieve a 6% return per month (lol). Some 7 months later my funds are 26% less than when I started using their fx calibre auto trader. Not a very pleasing result – I’m a goose for joining, but I’m sure there are plenty of others out there. Question is should I quit while I’m behind or keep persisting in case things turn around? Will keep you posted… Is there any one out there with positive experiences? Would love to hear from others – good, bad or indifferent..
I’ve also had an apple investment co. experience that I’d rather forget, and from what I’ve seen on forums refund seems unlikely.
Apple Investment Company asked for my credit card details BEFORE giving me full details information ie Terms and Conditions. I understood that the process would involve me receiving the paperwork and completing the forms etc. and once all was signed up they would take the credit card payment. Paperwork came after they immediately took my money. I was not happy when I received the paperwork as there were discrepancies with what had been explained to me and the written forms. I immediately requested that they do not process any payments as I need clarification of certain matters. My request was ignored and the payment was processed. They now do not return my emails or calls. This is a very suspicious organisation. I don’t trust what they say. Make sure they give you ALL of the paperwork BEFORE you give them any $ . I was certainly a fool for trusting them. I intend to go to the media and take all steps to endeavour to recover our hard earned $. As we are bringing up our disabled grandaughter and approaching retirement we were lead to believe that this would be an excellent way of building our income. What a joke.
