<p>The trading opportunities which the broker provides are exceptional. Such a variety of assets is great, and I try to make the most of this opportunity. I’m trading stocks, commodities and indices with TradeATF and I’ve already managed to gain several thousand dollars on such trades.</p>
<p>1. Does TradeATaf have offices in south Africa, Johannesburg or anywhere where in South Africa?<br> 2.Can you please send me a link which can explain to me how investing in TradeATF is done and if are there any agencies which act as a middleman involved.<br> 3. How many percentages are allocated for investing in TeadeATF.<br> 4. Am I investing in another companies like Netflix via TradeATF or directly into TradeATF. I am asking from a beginner’s point of view.<br> Thank you.</p>
<p>Hi Im Mr Zwane,I have been scammed by atf trading,my R3600,went down the drain,if u want to withdraw they tell u,you can’t withdraw and ur money will take long,the account manager is one there,he calls himself by the name Ernest,he is a Nigerian,he is a scammer together some indians.Im advising u guys out there not to try and put ur money in this scam,pls I’m begging u all.</p>
<p>I don’t have years of experience in trading, but the service TradeATF provides is great! However, it took me some time and money to come up with a good strategy.</p>
<p>TradeATF make use of misleading advertisements (invest $250 in Amazon) and once you have responded they call you to open your account and pay the money into it. This is when they start to push you to invest more money as according to them you’re nuts trying to trade with $250, but that was what they said. I then paid in another R20k to up my equity. Then the account manager drove me up the walls trying to push me to invest R500k in Tesla – money I don’t have and which he said I can borrow as I won’t have this opportunity again.<br> So, I decided to withdraw the money left in my account, but then they blocked me from accessing their website (it tells me they don’t trade in my country).<br> What can I do getting my money back, please?</p>
<p>Is ther any way to get your money back from.here as my fiance also joined them and put in R100000 and now lost al his money and they also blocked him he cant get hold of these people wot can we do please</p>
<p>The account manager Alex did not teach how to trade just told me what do to, choose from a random number and transfer me to some agent where you buy that’s after insisting i deposit R10000 in order to trade big and I lost all the money i put in then the next day, the other Indian lady calls to say, the previous account manager Alex is sick and made me loose money so i should deposit more money and she will do the right thing with me. This is a SCAM. Wish i read all this comments before</p>
<p>This is a scam don’t waste your money!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Let’s make a note of this : and is the emails they operate with.</p> <p>I will send every single day of my life emails to inform people about this scam.</p>
<p>I was scammed by Trade ATF worth R203500</p>
<p>DO NOT INVEST WITH global.tradeatf. Every single negative thing I have read here is correct. I recently opened an account with global.tradeatf because I was told that I will be assisted in terms of what assets to buy and when to sell. I was really interested in this because I am not experienced with analysis of assets and I do not have free time to learn. I then opened my account with the minimum R3500 and I was told that my account manager will contact me. The account manager called me the next week and told me that I had to invest more money if I want to invest in stocks to which I said I don’t have money. His solution was that I open trades with forex to try and boost my balance. I opened four trades and two of those gave me R1000 profit while the rest never gave me any profit. I called the number he usually calls me with and the lady on the switchboard picked up and told me that my account manager would call me back. He called me back a day later and I told him that I was worried about the loss I was making as also the swap fee was increasing everyday. He told me that I should not worry and that I would eventually make profit. He called me a week later and told me that my free margin is dangerously low and that I should immediately deposit money, I told him I did not have money and he said I must leave the trades open and that they would eventually make me profit. Two days later he called and told me about NASDAQ and advised that I deposit R100 000 to open a buy trade. I told him I don’t have that kind of money and he tried to influence me to get a loan. I almost did it fortunately I have a friend who advised against it. Today I have closed those trades and because of how high the loss on the asset and how high the swap fee was it has left me with R781.10.I have requested to withdraw my R781 but I got a rejection of withdrawal email(apparently my R781 is less than the minimum to withdraw). The broker may not be a scam but from my terrible experience I will never advice anyone to trade with tradeATF. All the account managers are just there to influence you to add money to your account even if your making a huge loss. Don’t be naive stay away.</p>
<p>Unless you are very experienced or have money to lose, do not trade with ATF Global. They may be a registered company etc., but they haven’t lost their license to operate in UK and are under review in Cypress for no reason.<br> They are unethical in their dealings, say they operate out of the UK, when they actually operate and are governed in Belize.<br> They are very good at sucking you in and delaying withdrawals.<br> I lost all I invested even though I told them I had no experience and pleaded for help.</p> <p>Now that a complaint has come their way they have offered me a very little amount as a gesture, in return they want a non disclosure agreement.</p>
