Read our Atb Crypto review to see why we do NOT recommend this broker for trading. Just to clear doubts, this is an atbcrypto.com 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 Atb Crypto 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 Atb Crypto 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. Also, when these people change their website they tend to call the old clients, so if they call you from a new website please write it down on the comment or let us know it by contacting us. That would be really appreciated by us and families all over world. Also if you get phone calls from other companies please put the name of these companies also in the comment or send it to us. We will expose them too.

Stay away from them! They stole my money!
Impossible to talk to them or to have a response to emails, they disappeared. The phone lines have a permanent busy tone.
I transferred money using crypto keys (did not want me to use credit card, I understand now why); they did some trading (false or real, I don’t know), the results were good, and after I added additional money, they went silent!! My supposed « advisor » never called me back
It’s a scam, I should have seen the signs and did not (and read your review 🙁 ), I was blinded by the potential nice returns..
They are very well organized, their website looks professional, they have a so-said « compliance » department who asked me a lot of information to validate my identity, faking a process professional and serious…
Hi,
I would like you to wait to publish my comment, as I got news from ATB Crypto. I’m not yet sure it’s ok to get my money back, but I was able to have a conversation with them after many unsuccessful attempts..
So for now, I prefer to bu more cautious
We have invested with ATB and the managers (Calvin Pierce and Benjamin Davis) were super helpful to us for the first few calls trying to push us to invest as much money as we can with them. So when we said to them we want to see the performance of the funds that we have put in already and based on their performance we will decide if we want to invest more, they stopped calling us and vanished completely. We emailed them to call us and even asked them to withdraw our funds, but they didn’t response. They just vanished in thin air. We have sent an email to ATB support asking them to get hold of their managers and now we are waiting for their response.
ATBcrypto operates from Ontario in Canada. First they call you and they ask to open an account by investing
minimum 250$ us. After a senior account manager will call you pretending to help you. He will contact you
every day to create confidence from you. He will assist you a little bit by making a couple of trades to help
make money. Later He will ask you to add 5000$ us in your account. He will insist till you do it. After he will
block your account or suspend it and you will no more be able to trade inside your account. You will get
mad and the support won’t assist you and won’t answer your calls or your emails. Next, after 2 or 3 weeks
an other senior account manager will get in touch with you and will ask you to pay the taxes and will tell after you will be able to withdraw your money. But nothing of that will happen he will steal your money.
he will also tell you that he made a mistake and the money went in your account on top of the other and will
be blocked also. He will ask an other senior account manager to call you for adding taxes again. He will be rude with you on the phone. He will send to you a false agreement document you will have to sign to get
your money and will menace you to sue you if you don’t act. After getting from you the maximum he can get he will stop to communicate with you. You won’t get money from your account. The finance dept. doesn’t exist and will never get in touch with you to send you back the moneyyou have in your account.
These persons will repeat day after day the same pattern and will create new victims. Nobody will imagine
they act from Ontario in canada. They fraud the maximum they can. A guy has stolen the license of a broker
in United States in Virginia and made a document and use it to fraud. I verifyed with US and found that.
The names of the senior account managers are: Benjamin Davis, Andrew Decker and David Taylor. They
should prepare themselves for the jail.
Watch out for these scammers, Pretty much the same happened to me as the above people- but I stopped after the initial $250 as they kept insisting for the additional 5,000 and I said no I want to see performance. Then they called me after 1 month asking the same as above review to pay taxes- i told them you have made soo much profit off me take the taxes from the profit and send me back the funds. As usual they tried their last attempt saying I should pay the taxes first. I told them that will never happen. These names Andrew decker, Calvin Pierce and their fake finance and compliance department along with all the fake names they use is a BIG SCAM, Stay away from these guys. There is currently a class action law suit against these guys along with all investigation of how much funds they have frauded and people. Any one who wants to join the class action law suit, message me.
I have been a victim with this company as well. I would like to join the class action law suit and investigation.
How and who do we message? Please advise as I was blinded by the potential nice returns. Jack Richards, Nico Goldman and Kevin Miller. These guys are big time scammers and need to be caught and put behind bars.
Looking to obtain information regarding the class action law suit mentioned in the above post. I also have been scammed by ATBCrypto recently. They have threatened to cancel my account and deposit my funds to charity (can you imagine) if i don’t pay the outstanding tax. Jack Richards, Kevin Miller and Nico Goldman are also fake names used by these scammers. They need to be stopped as I lots of victims being targeted. Regarding their operation, yes I do agree its in Ontario Canada based on phone numbers used to communicate.
Authorities in the US and Canada should be notified as peoples lives are being ruined.
Till now I got calls from 4 scammers of ATBcrypto: Benjamin Davis, Andrew Decker, David Taylor and
Miko Courtland or Goldman. They work from Ontario, Canada. I am sure about it. Also they work
from Switzerland and UK.
Do not invest they are very good at what they do scam scam. the site looks real they lead you down the path that you are making money they will help you withdraw some money to show you how it works but that will be the last time you will ever be able to withdraw any of your money.
How do i join the class action law suit
A.A how do we message you to be included as part of the class action lawsuit?
I did confirm that they work from Ontario (Toronto to be exact).
These guys are very desperate and make up all kinds of lies to get you to deposit funds
They need to be stopped.
I have been scammed by David Taylor and team as well. They are holding my investment and demanding a 20% prepaid tax which is not documented on their site. It is just one more attempt to get more funds from me. Total scam, please don’t give them your hard earned money. I am interested in pursuit of the class action as well.
I think the class action suit might be referring to this:
https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/tezos-and-atb-cryptocurrency-class-60979/
Different ATBCrypto. I believe this is regarding a coin that traded under the symbol ATB.
Interested in the class action pursuit as well. 500$, not a big amount, but sad to loose it in hands of these thieves.
I’m also interested in this class action. A A how can we contact you?
Same people (Calvin Pierce , the supposed “account manager”, then Niko Goldman, the “tax collector”) to start, same method. They tried very hard to have me pay the 20% tax to get my money back, refused to give any names of executives or directors inside the company, would not disclose where they were operating from (sometimes from Canada, sometimes from UK, with no precision).
Can we create a separate whatsapp or slack private group to discuss between us?
So sad to see so many victims. Wondering if victims are all in the US or Canada.
I am interested in the WhatsApp group too. Curious to know what others are doing regarding reporting the crime and retrieving lost funds etc…. It really hurts to see other victims. Another scam you have to be careful of is the online companies stating they can get your money back. These guys too are tied to the scammers in some cases. Be very careful out there.
People, there is no class action law suit. The one people are talking about is related to a different company. I don’t think anyone is going to be able to bring a class action lawsuit against a criminal organization.
Really discouraging to see these slime balls run off with the loot.
Other names used by ATBCrypto.com creeps;
Amy Anderson, Max Tillman, Alexander (Alex) Goldman, Niko Goldman, Christopher Tyler Mercer.
I am curious how you have located them in Ontario, the phones they use are masked or spoofer phones. Their site is still operational and don’t understand why the internet cyber sleuths haven’t tracked them down. When hearing their voices they are in a call center room. They are the scum of the earth.
They are for sure in Ontario, could be Toronto too. For sure in a call center as i have heard music blaring in the background. Location identification is based on multiple conversations we had regarding weather, time, restaurants etc.. They tend to slip information to you once they get comfortable and forget their true intentions. I am not even sure law enforcement can do anything about this as well as there are other similar scams out there. Legally not sure anything can be done either. If anyone has suggestions, please share.
We are also victims of these scammers. The person who contact us is Niko Goldman and Benjamin Davis. Is there anyway we can do about it.
The guy I was dealing with is Adam Vega, I gave him $400 which turned into $1,500 and then invested another $3,000 and within a month my account went up to $12,000 and just before Xmas it was at $18,000. He asked me to invest another $2,000 so they can invest in a half bitcoin for $20,000. I told him I could not do it until after New Year. First week of January Noko Golman called me to tell me they needed to close the accounts as they wanted to register ATBCrypto with the government but needed to pay the tax so I cold withdraw my money and then reinvest with the registered company. I paid $5,800 for taxes and signed an agreement they could manage my account. The next week my account was $21,500. Goldman called me and told me they were about to buy millions in bitcoin and I could make more profits if I invested the $21,500. A week later my account was at $61,000. Goldman called me again and told me I had to pay another $7,800 in taxes to release my funds. I told him to give me a week as I was getting suspicious and looked up reviews. He called me yesterday and I told him I had already paid taxes and I was not giving him any more money. We got into a disagreement and he told me my account was froze until I pay the extra tax. I hung up on him. Ive been trying to reach Adam Vega, he answered my test but did not call back. I’m starting to realize I got scammed but there should be a way to get back at these guys. All hope is not lost, can you help
I am in the same situation. Invested way too much and paid the taxes. This happened in November 2021 then communication stopped. I just got a phone call today Jan 23 saying they are closing the website and wanted to close my account but require another $7500 to cover taxes. Which I already had paid. I refused to pay any more money and I was going to have the authorities deal with it from here.
I hung up.
I feel like a fool.
