Read our Horizon Invest review carefully to see why we do NOT recommend this broker for trading. Just to clear doubts, this is a horizoninvest.cc review.
Who are they?
After taking a look at their website, it shows that they do not fall under any regulating agency. That is a MAJOR RED FLAG!! That should be enough for you NOT to invest with them. And they also work with websites that offer “Automated trading software” which is another red flag, as this kind of websites are notoriously famous for scamming schemes.
So Horizon Invest is just another unregulated forex broker, which means the customers are not protected, and there is highly likely they will get away with your hard earned money and there will be no regulating agency to hold them responsible.
| Regulatory Body | Status |
|---|---|
| FCA (UK) | No record of authorization |
| ASIC (AU) | No record |
| CySEC (EU) | No record |
| SEC / CFTC (US) | No record |
How does it work?
Usually unregulated forex brokers work in the following way. They will call people to persuade them to make the initial minimum deposit, while trying any conceivable method in order to make that happen. They will offer deals that sound too good to be true, like we will double your initial deposit or you will make $100 per day easily. Please don’t fall for anything they say!!! It is a SCAM! After making the initial deposit, people get transferred to a smarter scammer, called a “retention agent”, who will try to get more money out of you.
Withdrawing funds
You should submit a withdrawal request ASAP, because your funds are never safe with an unregulated broker. And here is when things get tricky.
If you want to withdraw your money and it does not matter if you have profits or not, they will delay the withdrawing process for months. If they delay it for six months, you won’t be able to file a chargeback anymore and your money is gone for good. It does not matter how often you remind them or insist in withdrawing your money, you will NOT get them back. And if you signed the Managed Account Agreement or MAA, which is basically authorizing them to do anything they want on your account, they will lose all your funds so there won’t be anything to request anymore.
How to get your money back?
If you already deposited your money with them and they refuse to give your money back, which is very likely to happen, don’t worry, it might be a way or two to get your money back.
First of all you need to keep the emails as a proof that you have been requesting the money back from them but they don’t give it to you, or they delay the process for too long, with the intention of not refunding your money.
The first thing you should do is perform a chargeback! And you should do this right away! Contact your bank or credit card provider and explain how you were deceived into depositing for a trading company that is not regulated and they refuse to give your money back. This is the simplest way of getting your money back and is also the way that hurts them the most. Because if there are many chargebacks performed, it will destroy their relation with the payment service providers. If you haven’t done this before or you are not sure where to start or how to present your case to your bank or credit card company, we can assist you in preparing your chargeback case. Just contact us at [email protected] but do not let your broker know they you read this article or that you are in contact with us.
What about wires?
If you sent them a wire, there is no way to perform a chargeback on a wire. For this step you need to raise the fight to a different level. Tell them that you will go to the authorities and file a complaint against them. That will get them to rethink the refund possibility. Another thing you can do is prepare a letter or email for the regulating agencies. Depending on the country where you live, you can search on google to find the regulating agency for Forex brokers in that country. After that you can prepare a letter or an email describing how you got deceived from them. Make sure you show this letter or email to them, and tell them you will send it to the regulating agency if they don’t refund your money. If you do not know where to start, reach for us at [email protected] and we will help you with this step as well.
Make sure you leave reviews about Horizon Invest in other sites
Another way to hurt them and save other people from falling victims is to leave bad reviews on other sites, and describe shortly what happened. If you fallen victim please leave a review and a comment on this site at the comment section.

Hallo, bin vor 2 Wochen über “immediate edge” bei HorizonInvest gelandet, wo ich mich registriert habe und per Visakarte 250 € eingezahlt habe. Wurde dann an einen Broker namens Barret Burton weitergeleitet, der mich aufforderte, weitere 250 € einzuzahlen. Er würde weitere 250 € drauf legen und dann mit 500 € traden. Der Gewinn von 185 € wurde mir auf paypal ausgezahlt. Dann sollte ich weitere Einzahlungen machen. Tat dies und überwies tags darauf 500 €. Wieder wurde ein Gewinn erzielt. Ich ließ mir 700 € auf paypal auszahlen. Mein Broker meinte, eine höhere Investition würde auch höhere Gewinne einbringen. Naiverweise muss ich leider sagen, füllte ich bei meiner Bank eine Online-Überweisung über 5000.- € an Coinbase in Estland aus. Mein Broker wollte dann sehen, ob die Überweisung getätigt ist und so machte ich ein Foto von der getätigten Überweisung und schickte sie ihm per whatsapp. Als ich mich am nächsten Tag in meinen account bei horizoninvest einloggte, staunte ich nicht schlecht, als von Seiten meines Brokers sozusagen die gleiche Summe, nämlich 5000.- € als “Credit in” bei meinem “dashboard” zu sehen war, obwohl die 5000.- € noch gar nicht bei Coinbase angekommen waren. Von meiner Bank bekam ich eine Mail, ich sollte sie dringendst anrufen, was ich auch tat. Hier wurde ich gefragt, ob die Überweisung in Ordnung sei, denn das Sicherheitssystem der Bank hätte meine Überweisung gestoppt. Ich erklärte die Vorgänge, der Banker machte Notizen und gab die Überweisung frei. Kurze Zeit später bekam ich einen Anruf von einem weiteren Angestellten meiner Bank, der mir mitteilte, dass ich einer Betrügerei aufgesessen sei. Gott sei Dank gelang es mir, das Geld von meinem account bei Coinbase sofort wieder an meine Bank in Deutschland zurück zu überweisen. Mittlerweile war als Guthaben auf meinem Konto bei horizoninvest mehr als 500 € mehr zu sehen. Mein Broker insistierte, bei meiner Bank nachzufragen, ob sie das Geld schon verschickt hätten. Ich erklärte ihm, dass die Überweisung aus Sicherheitsgründen gestoppt worden sei und bat ihn, mein vorangegangenes Guthaben von 591 € (ohne den Gewinn des Trades meiner nicht überwiesenen 5000 €) an mich zu überweisen und buchte auch auf meinem Account eine Auszahlung von wenigstens 550 €. Als mein Broker merkte, dass das Geld nicht mehr auf Coinbase überwiesen wird, wurde er ziemlich pampig, ich hätte ihn belogen, er könne mir die 550 € nicht auszahlen, denn das sei auch sein Geld…??? Ich blieb weiterhin höflich und erklärte ihm per whatsapp, dass ich nur mein vorheriges Guthaben, also ohne den sogenannten Gewinn aus den von mir nicht überwiesenen 5000 € zurück auf mein Konto oder paypal haben möchte. Daraufhin meinte er u.a. – “Wir spielen hier nicht!” und sperrte den Zugang zu meinem account bei horizoninvest. So nun der aktuelle Stand. Meine Frage: Besteht eine Möglichkeit, wenigstens meine noch ausstehenden 115 € Einlage zu bekommen? Wie ich festgestellt habe, kann ja nur der Broker eine Auszahlung auf paypal oder meine Bank in Deutschland veranlassen. Dieser macht aber nichts mehr. Und ja, was noch zu sagen wäre: Meine Visakarte wurde mit 85 Euro – irgendwelche Dollarkäufe o.ä. – belastet, was mir auch völlig schleierhaft ist. Versuche, auf Anraten meiner Bank, dieses Geld zurück buchen zu lassen, nachdem ich eine Anzeige bei der Polizei gemacht habe.
Für Ihren Rat und ggf. Hilfe in dieser Angelegenheit wäre ich Ihnen sehr dankbar.
Mit freundlichem Gruß

https://horizoninvest.io/ is a scam
https://horizoninvest.cc/ seems an exact copy of https://horizoninvest.io/
What I thought was happening
Scammers convinced me to invest via their company. They told me they could help me to transfer money from my bank accounts to their company via Luno. In addition they advised me to install a remote desktop software (Anydesk) and they created an account for me at their platform. They proposed Luno since it had lower transferring costs and they helped me via Anydesk to open an account there.
I authorized each transaction via my mobile phone (OTP system of my bank) since for each outgoing amount of money from my bank account, the same amount of money was deposited at my account at their platform.
Moreover in their platform, the total amount of money was increasing with bonuses from the investment company and profits from my portfolio. Few weeks later, at their platform, my initial capital had been doubled.
What was happening
But they didn’t transfer money from my bank account via Luno to their company. There were no investments and at their platform all deposits were fake. They were transferring money from my bank account to Luno in order to convert Euros to Bitcoins. Having access via Anydesk they had access to my emails and my Bitcoin Wallet.
The end
When I requested a withdrawal, they told me I had to send them money so as taxes could be paid. Also they delayed the whole process telling me that my personal financial counselor had a terrible car accident.
When they realized, they couldn’t get more money from me, they were vanished. No Viber discussions, no calls and they blocked my account at their platform. I lost more than 100.000,00 Euros
Interesting points
– The scammers contacted me in my native language
– Small talk, photo sharing e.g “here is the view from my office” and exchanging off topic ideas with my personal financial counselor resulted in confidence building
– The scammers had enabled “Unattended Access” at Anydesk
Stop talk to them immediately…the best of them has 4 or 5 years at prison…do not play with them…contact relative local loyer preferable face to face.There are plenty (loyers) in every country dedicated to these cases.People has lost milions from these thiefs.do not invest a cent to them…virtual fake platform..they might withdraw some money when they will be sure you will invest more.i dont know they might trained somehow on psychology there is no other explanation that they hypnotize people with unbelivable lies When the time come for big withdraw from your site….they will request from you more money for fees…taxes and sudently they will disapear.There is no case you will take your money back from them…be carefull there are also other scamers like them that they will tell they can retrieve your money…you just going to lose more money…once again you will never get your money back from them…someone has the blame that the system let people perform these uinappropriate transactions
Thieves …scam…they are stilling people money…try to send email to the mail advised at their site…you will be rejected. .try to find them at phone advised…no where…only viber and app like these…where are the authorities…names like palaiologos,chronis,tzimas,moraitis recently the found fdd bank they advised me a mail [email protected] ..the account managers(profetional thieves ecactly)just dont exist…the environment is virtual based on real time stock prices and here is where we are thinking that all this is real..notice that at the beginning of months the will requesting money very pressing…dont give them a cent cantact imediatelly authorities…their site is dead but they will find you…i am trying to get my money back. ..and they are still requesting money for fees etc…they advised new phones where you can call them but after few hours the phone are dead…be very carefull because they are have corporation with loyer comanies(fake) that they will try to take more money from you…I loose all my hope that i can retrieve my money(local loyers gave me no hope)…i wtore all this to help people not to invest in them…there are real companies that you can invest…if someone had found someting it would be very helpfull to advise.
Whoever got scammed by this company please contact me.
Horizoninvest is a SCAM. Plataridis,Stamoulis, Adrianopoulos are THIEVES and SCAMMERS. DO NOT TALK TO THEM!!! They promises high profits with their fake virtual trade platform which they have. Everything they are saying and promises are lies. They use viber and Anydesk to control money transferring though victims bank accounts, to their accounts in Luno. They are taken money from unsuspecting victims bank accounts, whithout to inform them, and then they use other victims bank accounts for money transferring to their accounts in Luno in bitcoins to their wallets, in order to trap victims. After the unsuspecting victims are blocking others victims bank accounts, while scammers have taken all the money in bitcoins in Luno. They use victims bank accounts for money transferring and never their banks accounts! Go to police authorities and talk, tell the truth! These criminals are distroying peoples lifes…
