“About My Experience”

Mumtaz A.
9/16/22

For the last 2 years I have been using Areatrading as my primary broker. So far, I have never experienced any problems with the trading platform, withdrawals, deposits, etc. Their biggest advantage is assigned professional adviser which changed my perspective about many financial topics. He managed to close majority of my trades in profits when my other brokerage accounts were barely afloat. The platform is easy and simple to use, trading software is exact and accurate. I've also been using the partners' program that works well. They recently completely renewed the layout which is modern and clear. The only disadvantage they used to have is the quite high withdrawal fee, but last month they lowered it even more. I tried a lot of different brokers and if you are looking for a good trading feature, clear interface, a wide range of markets to trade and commission-free stock trading, suits you.

To Whom It May Concern

My account advisor is, Bruce. That's the name he gave me. This guy black me on whatsapp from where I normally contact him since I make a notice for withdrawal. He's always asking me for more money. Only make a notice for withdrawal part of investment he block me. Is this a scam trading platform? All the numbers he gave are not reachable anymore.

I need a answer before I go to the internet telling everyone about my experience with you guys.

Do not trust anyone from this company, they are all rogues and swindle you out of all your money without batting an eyelid and tell you all sorts of lies to get you to part with your funds and then show you on line how much money you have made over £******* in my case, but still want more from you but will not give access to it and do not give you your money back. Do not give them access to your monies they will swipe the lot. I am sorry to say they are all scammers and are making loads of money at it and do not both or care who they take from or under what circumstances, do not be taken in. I was unfortunately and I am skint as a result and they have ruined my life in total. Please believe me, this is not a false review.

AREATRADING is a great platform for investors from every level to start investing in the stocks & crypto market. Whether you are just starting out or have been trading for a long time, there is something for everyone. Each account gets assigned a dedicated financial advisor who can help you understanding the platform itself, but can also assist you in your trades and have open discussions about your strategies and goals. My dedicated advisor has been very helpful on my journey into the market. Whether I have questions about strategies, need advice or analysis on certain assets, or just want to chat about the market outlook, advisor is there to help and assist me. Would highly recommend this platform.

I really like Areatrading and I enjoy using their platform. My experience has been indeed smooth and the website has always been reliable. One of the main things I like AT for is when it comes to deposit and withdrawal of your fund. I live in the UAE and literally at times I took 2 days to get my withdrawal to be credited into my bank account, never had any issues. Of course their gifts have been a bonus too :).
I also like their financial adviser and account management services. My adviser constantly sends email and makes phone calls to check if any assistance or advice is needed and for that I am indeed grateful. Keep up the good work guys.

Please do not use this so called company, if you try to get your money back they ask you to put money into an account they set up for you, if you don't they say they can not help. Luckily my bank stop all transactions.They tell you not to tell your bank. They also tell you your profits are $2 - 3000. Fake.
I was sent a copy of a passport of a guy who said he wanted to prove who he is. A Micky Mouse copy. He is smiling like the cat that got all the cream, which is a big no no, with passport photos. No doubt a fake person.
Don't put any money in. Zero star, had to use 1 star to use this service.

Henry Gallo, Sonia Dabrowski, William Miller from Area trading are crooks who needs to be taken down. No one should deal with this company, They are liars and cheats, they have no morals. If you give them money they want more money to get your money out. And then they'll make up another problem to try and get you to give them more money. Take them down. And find them!

This firm is one of the crooks out there that deceiving their innocent users. The most important things you need to understand is. All the positive reviews are fake, 2 Areatrading is unregistered, Unlicensed, Unregulated and Blacklisted. I learnt these when I took my issues to G.al.way.re.liance They help me regain access to my funds and enlightened me on how to spot red flags about Forex Brokers like this crooks

Don't trust at any cost! This is one of the biggest scammer in the net. They advertise on youtube and bring you to different platform. They will ask you to deposit small amount of money using moonpay then they wqill assign you to a broker but a scam broker, it would even ask you to see take a look at your bank account please dont do it, they'll take your money. Theyll hook you into believing thaT they have 99% success rate. This people are from hell. They speak lies naturally! Their site is no longer active

I have tried multiple trading platforms and after a few years I have opted to AreaTrading Advisors exclusively.
The support is top notch, my advisor is always ready to give me great insights and help in anything.
The social copy feature makes AreaTrading the best investment platform.
I highly recommend it.
I have deposited over 50k and have also withdraw over 60k, so I completely trust and recommend their service.
Keep with the great work!

They are glorified pyramid schemes, there are real regulated investments for your portfolio that have different levels of risk that you can measure. HYIPS are the equivalent of giving some money to a scammer waiting for him/her to give you it back with some profit while the scheme runs. Even regulated/community backed projects are risky, nevermind trusting some stranger on the internet that you never met and probably would not like to! I REPORTED ON F O RENSIC - W A T CH C OM

I came from Ukraine to the UK about 2 months ago. My family is refugees. We fled our home due to the russian invasion with only 2 suitcases.
AreaTranding representatives were the first ones to call me, I wonder how they got the number? They spoke words of encouragement to me and promised to help with their abilities. I agreed, to my misfortune. I started the investment at 180 pounds. They showed rapid growth and progress. A bit later they offered an exclusive offer for investment and because I did not have enough money they even lent me 500 pounds and added theirs to my account. They led my account up to 10.000 pounds and I was told that the rules of the company did not allow me to keep such an amount on my account, so I had to withdraw it. But in order to withdraw, my bank account must be 5.000 pounds. I had to gather all the money I had and even had to borrow it. Since I am completely inexperienced, they offered to help with the withdrawal via AnyDesk remote computer access program. At the time of the withdrawal, all my money was transferred from my account to some person Paul Baumann through Wise. People are absolutely ruthless and inhumane. They know my status and what circumstances my family is! Every time they repeated that we support you, we are with you, but in fact, they are cheaters. But even scammers don't take the last one! I'm not sure if these are real names, but they were: SARAH HOFFMAN, MICHAEL DANCE, and PAUL BAUMANN.
Now they are unreachable and all supporting also in silence. I can not reach anyone from AreaTranding!

I was scammed by AT on July 27th, 2022. My crooked broker told to me to make a withdrawal from my account, which I did. He then said that I had to pay a cash flow deposit into a wallet on Blockchain in order to have my money released to me. I did this and I still have not received any money - not even my original investment.
Then, Area Trading LTD, Area Trading Advisors LTD/areatrading.io made a huge mistake by deciding to use an FCA Regulation Reference belonging to another company. They did this on Trustpilot and as a result, their company page was removed. That can't be good if Trustpilot doesn't trust them. They also put it on this website but removed it when I posted my review. They changed the photo of Stanley when someone mentioned that. See screenshots.
They have now had to resort to writing their own false reviews at https://www.reviews.io/company-reviews/store/areatrading-ioI have obviously upset the criminals at area trading as there are two false 5* reviews with similar names to me. The lengthy reviews referred to are the 1* reviews I wrote on Trustpilot about areatrading.io. The FCA and Trustpilot did listen to me.
There is also one from Alan Hunter who wrote a scathing review on Trustpilot. You can see his name next to a 1* review on one of the new photos put up by someone else.
If you can't trust them to use correct registration numbers, names and photographs can you really trust them with your money.

Hi Michael,

Upon checking your withdrawal request, you needed to complete identity verification before processing the amount. This is a mandatory regulation which every client needs to accomplish.
If you think there's something which we are missing, please contact us at Support@Areatrading.io and we will assist you as soon as possible.

Thanks you!

To Stanley M

I am sure that is not even your real name and the profile image you are using is also not yours. You have made a habit of turning criminality into a lifestyle. Have you no shame? Is there any depth that you will not sink to, just to scam unsuspecting people?

You have the audacity to respond to my review in the brash manner that you did given, it was you who stole the image profile of Professor Eric Roland Kuhn to pose as one your your cabals in this scam operation you are fronting? Have you had the courage and decency to apologise to that man for tarnishing his image with your atrocities and corruption?

Well, you are doing what you always used to do on Trustpilot which is to deflect rather than address the issues raised. Unfortunately, you and your cabal of thieves are powerless to take down reviews here as you were allowed to do with impunity at Trustpilot, until it finally had some sense knocked into them.

Why don't you attempt to forensically demolish all claims that I have made about AreaTrading? You know you won't, because you can't because you are running a scam operation with fake and paid reviews to lure unsuspecting individuals into your trap.

One of your fake or paid reviewers Marcus O wrote, "I have deposited over 50k and have also withdraw over 60k, so I completely trust and recommend their service." If that is true, can you explain why it says in your Deposit And Withdrawal Policy Document, under subheading Non-Deposited Funds, the following statement can be found "Without derogating from the abovementioned, bonuses issued to Client by Areatrading may only be withdrawn subject to execution of a minimum trading volume of 25 times the deposit amount plus the bonus issued ("Minimum Trading Volume")."

Since that is the position of Areatrading (Assuming you are a legit brokerage) then Marcus O would have had to deposit a minimum of 25 times 60k to comply with your terms. Which he clearly did not because the whole thing is a sham.

Keep paying for fake and paid reviews, it did not help you over at Trustpilot, and thankfully people can see right through your criminality, it is that obvious and very soon, you will have to call it a day.

The Criminal Enterprise Areatrading.pro is now officially on Trustpilot
October 26th, 2022
• Previous review

If I could give AreaTrading zero star I would because the criminals behind this enterprise are ruthless and would stop at nothing to scam people.

Trustpilot had their previous incarnation as Areatrading.io removed. Now they have allowed the same criminal enterprise onto their platform. This means, once again Areatrading.pro will be able to flag and remove genuine reviews exposing their criminality, whilst flooding Trustpilot with fake or paid for ones instead.

One such Reviewer a person that goes by the name David E. On Trustpilot claims to have been dealing with Areatrding.pro for 2 years. This is an outright lie since, Areatrading.pro domain name was only registered in this month of October.

Trustpilot know this information to be a lie, but will nonetheless allow it on their platform because Areatrding.pro is a paying customer. Plus Trustpilot will only remove reviews that AreaTrding.pro flags for removal citing one of their rules. This is what their subscription to Trustpilot pays for. It grants them impunity to carry on stealing money from unsuspecting victims.

Areatrading.pro have also changed their address from 22/24 Finsbury Circus EC2M 7EA to 1 Cavendish Pl, London W1G 0QF and now finally to 23 Finsbury Circus EC2M 7EA. All the addresses they have ever used are fake. If you doubt it, visit their current fake address unplanned and you will not be surprised to find that no such firm or company exist.

Areatrading.pro is doing everything to steal from you. Do not entertain these criminals and definitely report them to Action Fraud.

Avoid this firm. They are scamming people.

A Criminal Enterprise
October 18th, 2022
• Previous review

Areatrading.io domain is no longer available. This criminal enterprise now operates a new website with the. Pro extension. All their fake and paid for reviews on Trustpilot has now been closed. You will now find them as Areatrading.pro on Trustpilot however, their power to take down genuine reviews are no more. See link https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/areatrading.io

Trustpilot has finally seen the light and shutdown their operation of flooding their platform with fake and paid reviews.
You still need to be careful as Areatrading is relentless in pursuit of ill-gotten gain by any criminal means available to it. The warning from the FCA still stands. See link https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/areatradingio-areatrading-advisors-ltd-clone-fca-authorised-firm

They recently changed the image of their customer representative here on Sitejabber without changing the person's name. This is no accident as Areatrading is a scam. As someone rightly pointed out, the image was stolen. See image for more detail.

Under a previous incarnation as Areatrading.cc, they were also found to be scammers operating illegally in the Russian Federation and subsequently banned. See link https://www.cbr.ru/inside/warning-list/detail/?id=*******

Stay away from these clowns.

I have used AreaTrading to invest in stocks, commodities and cryptocurrency for 4+ years with my Financial Adviser – Jonathan Rogers.
AreaTrading is a Retail Investment Platform which means you are trading directly on the stock market. There are 1000's of stocks to choose from in addition to Commodities and Indices. Stop Loss and Leverage features work perfect if you understand what they are for. If you don't spend time learning about these things or don't listen to your Financial Adviser, you might as well go to a casino instead.

I am giving a 5-star review because the AreaTrading platform has never let me down - I can always buy and sell shares (open and close a stock market trade) very easily with the click of a button. AT does provide financial advice on how to invest so my review is based on how much money I made + the quality of their platform. With great power comes great responsibility - it is possible to make a lot of money and it is possible to lose all your money if you are not careful and listen to Advisor.

If you are looking for a trading platform that stops you from making high risk trades in volatile markets such as Russia or Crypto, AreaTrading would be closest to such a thing.
My Financial Adviser Jonathan Rogers and his help has been invaluable in explaining complicated technical aspects. He always points towards the most profitable trades possible and as well explains things like "Overnight Fees" and "Rollover" on Futures Contracts. It is also very reassuring to have a professional like him behind your back and to know that I can schedule a call with him at any time using dashboard or email.
Many thanks to both AT and Jonathan for a great trading experience.
