WTC Group Limited "thieves and Scammers"!
July 26, 2022

"Scammers 'R' Us" thenationaltradecenter/theworldtradecenter.io and all other WTC Group Limited sites have one purpose, to steal investors' money. At first you make a reasonable profit so they can coheres more money from inexperienced investors, they lie, deceive, manipulate and threaten to achieve their goal of stealing your invested money.
They utilise Anydesk to access your computer remotely without your knowledge to ensure that they have taken all of the funds available, then they will change tactics. Unexpectedly your account manager will need to attend a seminar or something for three or four days and you will be given a "senior account manager" to assist you during their absence.
At this time the "senior account manager will change your investment strategy to ensure your account begins a downward spiral it will never recover from; they will continue to demand more money to save your profits knowing that any further money will instantly disappear as a loss. Regardless of any personal efforts to reverse the trend the account managers will place trades to ensure the losses continue. Once they have determined that they have taken you for all they can, they will close your account at their discretion (in my case Xmas day) and you lose everything.
9 Months after the WTC Group Limited scammed more than $140K USD from me I am still in conflict with the Group to be refunded money due to their illegal actions in the Australian market.
The WTC Groups MO is to place fake news articles on social media which induces people to enquire about the article, Once the person responds they are immediately transferred over to the WTC Group Limited and then to an "account manager" (con man) and from there you are hooked and reeled in. This type of deception is in direct conflict with the Act which clearly states, "you do not engage in conduct which is intended or likely to induce people in Australia to use the service" The WTC Group Limited's actions clearly violate this part of the Act, but they refuse to believe that they are in error.
Regardless of any other spurious activities conducted by the WTC Group Limited, this breach alone should be enough to engender a refund or some kind of reasonable settlement, but no they blamed me and accused me of extortion and later blackmail and threaten me with legal action, all while claiming to still be able to have people from Australia utilise their platform.
The WTC Group Limited aka worldtradecenter and nationaltradecenter. Just keep getting worse. After establishing that the WTC Group Limited had breached Australian Law ( ASIC determination) they utilised fake news articles to encourage people to enquire about crypto currencies, then without prior knowledge you are transferred to the WTC Group Limited's web of lies and deceit. When confronted by this observation the WTC Group Limited's response was to accuse me of extortion.
When I continued to challenge their right to trade in Australia and advised them that ASIC made the determination not me personally, they accused me of blackmail, insulted me, called me evil, all the time threatening me with legal action. The WTC Group Limited is spurious in nature and clandestine in operation.
No real address just a serviced office, no regulatory oversite, phone contact via untraceable means, registered in St Vincent the Grenadines, aliases for their account managers, they are counter party to your trades( if you're making money their losing it), they change their email every 3-4months, all designed to prevent any legal recourse to their blatant breaches of law and to steal your money. And they claim to be 100% legitimate, 100% SCAM more likely. Additionally, you will start to receive nuisance calls about fund recovery from other scammers acting on information that could only be provided by the WTC Group Limited.
Customer service is a joke, and they only think about their money and how to get more money from you. An ongoing saga trying to get justice from a tainted company. The WTC Group Limited "Scammers 'R' Us" personified, even though the regulator ASIC states that they are not authorised to trade in Australia they continue their activities regardless. Scam Scam Scam! Scam!

Scam Alert
June 3, 2022

It is possible that there is a legitimate WTC. However the people who contacted me saying they were from the World Trade Center io, are scammers. They are sophisticated and organised and there is a team working to fool you. They fooled me and they keep coming back for more. I've lost my money and there is no enforcement agency interested in following up.
Red Flags:
1. Ask them for legitimate ID. Make sure the person you are dealing with is who they say they are. They aren't and if you flick them at this point you are so much better off.
2. if they want to access your computer DO NOT LET THEM. While one of them is talking away nicely and helpfully, he'll have another guy hacking your systems. If they ask you for access to your computer, you need to flick them and this will save you a lot of heartache.
3. They can accept payment by many methods. PayPal is safe as you can lodge a dispute. So if they want you to make payments in Bitcoin and via multiple wallets, hang up.
4. They must verify that the trading platform they are using is 'live'. I doubt that the one they set up for me was live. I think that not a cent I gave them went into live trades. One of them is driving around in a flash new car thanks to me being a fool.
5. What they do is make you think that your trades went south, which they will obviously if they are not careful and are reckless (which they were). Then they want more money. Then, they offer to commit their own funds to get you out of trouble "that's how much they believe in you". But it's fake money. They get as much out of you as they possibly can then let your account blow up.
6. Then, when you realise you've been had, you will think about engaging a company to get your money back. That company will make all the promises in the word but they too are fake (You have lost your money already so do you want to give more away for nothing?) Don't pay them anything because they are also scamming you.
7. Months later WTC will contact you again saying they have lost their licence and that the regulator is forcing them to give back the money. You think,'wow at last I can retrieve my losses'. But then they will want to access your computer (anydesk is their preferred app). If you let them access your computer again, after all that then you learnt nothing from your experience.
All the above happened to me. I've been violated and this experience has changed me as a person. My wife and I have to do without so much now (I'm too ashamed to admit how much they got from me). I think about her and the things I could have given her in our retirement, but these scumbags stole it from me. I blame myself and I am writing this in the hope that whoever reads it will avoid having the same experience I have had.
I think this is an example of very organised crime with ruthless criminals involved. And I wonder how come they are getting away with it. When I followed through with the money trail, all the merchants knew about World Trade Center, why did not even one of them think to ask, 'umm this wouldn't be World Trade Center you are dealing with it is?'

WTC is 100% scam! - Please Stay Away
November 6, 2021

Please read this my review seriously! Warning Warning Warning -WTC is 100% scam! I lost $21,000 within two weeks. My account manager Ben Russo was handing my trading and he has originally told me about Algorithmic trading. It was not traded by the way he explained to me. He only traded manually which any one can do that way. I requested to withdraw $15,000 however Ben didn't let me to withdraw. I requested thought the form and according to the Withdraw Request Form it was successful ( * attached photo evidence) however without Ben's authority I was not able to withdraw my money form this company. He also put his company money to my account without my consent several times to continue the trading... And took money out from my account. I am extremally upset and devastated as Ben was 100 % managing my account and didn't allowed me to take my profit and at the end I ended up losing my $21,000 for him/company to make richer? I took a lot of photo evidence that shows they are a scam company. At first Ben showed me made some profit but of course I can not withdraw and in the mean time he started several trading manually not auto pilot system which I told him it is not a risk management trading at all. Ben started USDTRY trading which was extremely volatile and I have no idea of course but I can not trade myself so all trading was done by him. He has continued this way trading for more than a few days, I was terrified as he does not stop this trading... in the mean time World Trade Center put three times $10,000 and twice $100,000 to my account and then took away from my account which I was totally not aware! I don't know what they did. I asked Ben to contact me ( Only I could contact through What'App his number:*******908) and he texted me his manager would contact me his name was Sam Fox he contacted me by phone but with private number so I can't contact him of course. He was telling me if we continue this trading the margin level will be under 10 % and will close my account! They were supposed to know the trading however Their intention was only trying to get my money as much as they want. I refused to put more money in within a few minutes they took $30,000 out from my account and closed the trading & my account instantly ( at the time the margin level was around $100 so it was not under 10 %). Why they can access to my account and put money into my account? I transferred initial money from my bank but after that f I need to deposit I have to send to wallet and then have to transfer money to WTC my account. World Trade Center is a 100% scam company. The company is a fake and they are interested to steal money from people as much as they can. I would not be surprised the trading platform, MetaTrade 4 that this company is not real and manipulating by themself! I had a phone call from the company's manager in relation to my account next day after my account was closed by them and I explained everything what happened to me but after he promised me to call me bac, I never hear from him again. I then tries to login to my account but they blocked my access to my account and they are gone! Do not put your money and do not deal with this scam company. I lost my money within a few weeks as they are a scam. World Trade Center is a fraudster platform that operates with unregulated brokers. I still can not believe what happened to me in a short periods of time. World Trade Center Please refund my money and contact me to discuss this matter. As I phoned two nominated phone numbers: +61 ******* and +44 ******* no one answers!"...

*I hope many people would read my review and please keep away from this scam company.
