I trade with them for 4 months. They use David Swanson as a professor and Samantha Miller as his assistance. We trades under AstroCoin and made a lot of fake money. I lost over $250k !

I did trading with them for 6 month

I did trading with them for 6 month, I start winning at first and after they make bad trade, hard to communicate with them. They place a part of my money in a Pamm account, lost it all, almost no explication. they talk well and seem pro, but don't trust them. I worked with Richard, Paula, make me lost a lot of money. Learn it by yourself like I did after but be careful it's dangerous game.

Trading Academy - Biggest Scammers- Ring all hours of the night- up to 27 times in one day-ongoing since November 2022

Biggest scam and nuisance company EVER. My events started last November when I genuinely enquired about stocks. After they emailed the info they rang me and I said " No its not for me. Please do not call me any further". Then the calls started up to 27 in one day - I have my number on the do not call register...I have reported them to Scam Watch. It became so bad that I do not answer calls anymore from any unknown number I send it to messagebank...and of course they dont leace messages. They have gone so far as to call me at MIDNIGHT from the UK....and repeatedy through rolling numbers one after the other....I use my phone for business and this has impacted my dailly life They should be locked up for breaking privacy rules after being told NOT TO CALL me anymore...I just stopped answering.

Time wasting scammers .. no legitimate URL

Scammers, with ongoing nuisance calls. Starts with 'do you do online trading?' then it goes to continual calls from rolling local numbers, from a *reasonable* sounding operator claiming you registered to their program, but need to commence.
When you request they stop, tell them you're not interested they start to say things like, 'don't you want to make money .. ' etc. Continues with sly criticisms of your state of life and investment inability to prompt you to reply.
Repeated requests including email to state I am not interested - keep calling - 4 calls today, 3 yesterday, similar last week and had been put onto 'my manager' - I had made the request to stop a number of times. But the operator will not acknowledge. The manager confirmed to me they make money by keeping targets on the line for as long as possible.

Looks like scam. Avoid.

Same experience as others.
Knew my personal details but did not tell me where from if I kept them on the call asking for it for 32 min.
Insisted that I gill a "form" on their platform. The issue is that is not a form but an actual registration. They keep emphasising a lot that they are a UK company while their domain is .io .
After asking them to delete my data and never contact me again they dropped the call.

Caller asked me to type in a website…

Caller asked me to type in a website into my phone browser, but as my phone had warned me that it was a potential scam I said I would prefer to use my PC. He said reluctantly ok and when I did it came up blocked by my defender software saying it was an infected site. He then apologised saying this has not happened before, YES i am that 1 in a million! So I googled the website and found it was a scam site. The caller said hold on a minute I will speak to my supervisor, and a few minutes later was giving me explanations why they were not a scam company, but I could hear in the background he was being coached what to say to try and get me to connect on my phone. at that point I ended the call and blocked the number.

Scam callers

Scam callers. Rang me and I asked how and where they got my details from as I have never signed up to any trading services and they claimed I had signed up. After politely requesting the person on the phone to remove me from their call list he responded by saying there is a 'fee' to do so which I found BIZARRE, as most companies would simply remove your details. At this point I was then intrigued to what he had to say so I asked for details about the company and where it states there is a 'fee' to remove my number, he then responded by saying it is 'internal policy'. I then proceeded to ask for his name as I wanted to file a complaint, to which he said there was also a 'fee' for that information.

I have experienced odd cold calls in my time, where I either politely ask for my details to be removed or simply hang up, but this call is most definitely at the TOP of cold call scams. Don't waste your time listening to anything they have to say.

A similar experience as others here

A similar experience as others here. I signed up with another scam company and was expecting a call from them.
When my phone rang i was expecting it. The woman was so down to earth and we chatted for around 20 mins.
When it was time to get down to business she said she recommended i sign up with the minimum amount. When i said i had already paid she acted surprised. I told her i thought she was from the company i was expecting to call and asked how she got my number. She said i must have clicked on something by mistake. She put me through to her manager, who also sounded so genuine. He even warned me to be careful of scammers and explained how they operate. I was so impressed with their phone manner and said if i have a problem with with who i signed up with i would contact them back!!
Meanwhile as i was on the phone to them the original scam company i gave me money to tried to call. I signed up for a trading bot and straight away they tried to discourage me from that and let them handle everything. I wasn’t impressed and said i want the bot. They said i could have both but the bot would take time to set up. I gave them 24 hours to give me what i paid for. In that 24 hours they appeared to make me money. But still kept making excuses about the bot so i said im closing my account the next day. He hammered me with whatsapp messages telling me how brilliant he was and all the vip customers he had. Next morning i woke to a message saying he had set up the bot. I thought great but logged in and no bot so i hit the withdrawal button. He immediately contacted me asking why and showing me graphs of the money i was making etc and that i couldn’t see the bot because they were using it their end and using leverage to make me more money. I still haven’t seen a cent of that money. They are called fusion trading btw.
Anyhow, back to trading academy. I received an email from a woman named Chloe with no business details. The message read hello just wanted to make sure you have my number. I replied asking where she was from as I couldn’t remember the cold call womans name from trading academy. I received a text a few days later saying hello sorry for the late reply but chelsea asked me to contact you to check out this link. Obviously i didnt open it and cant reply to the number. They can’t even remember their colleagues fake names. Be aware they are extremely clever and they are share your information amongst themselves. They also have extremely sophisticated web sites using celebrity endorsements and very convincing testimonials. To good to be true, it definitely is a scam.

Appears to be a scam company

Appears to be a scam company, they got me to check their website which looks awful. Then the “senior analyst” I spoke to, asked me to go on to their partner broker website, puprime, asking me to register and put money in. Checked this company is only regulated in the Seychelles, not in the UK. He spent a while trying to convince me to sign up and then he’ll make me money trading gold. It’s all a load of nonsense scam.

Just got a cold call from them from a…

Just got a cold call from them from a guy named Rick Garcia. They initially greeted me by my name, made me believe I signed up for this service. But let me just tell you, there’s no way I did because that just doesn’t seem like me. They gaslit me. They were super pushy when I said I was uncomfortable to share further details about myself like my occupation. And they tried defending themselves “what would I do with that information? I have no use for that, I’m just trying to simply know who you are.” They’re full of crap. Did not respect my boundaries when I said I wanted to end the call, and only kept dragging it on by saying “this will only benefit you”, “what’s there to lose? We only care about your education”. Made me fill out a form even after I said I did not want to. The guy said “I’m just doing my job”, instead of respecting my feelings like any normal decent human would. I even asked numerous times throughout the call how they got my number and name, and they said I must have interacted with their marketing somehow. (Nope! That’s not true because I simply have no interest in trading and never would have done that). They’re so full of crap, I should’ve ended the call right on the spot, but entertained it longer than I should have.

Felt a lot like a scam

I got a cold call from someone from traderacademy. He claimed that they got my phone number because "I showed interest in trading". He was trying to fast talk me into giving him information about myself and tried to convince me to fill in a form on their website. When I told him that I want to sent a GDPR request to them, he immediately hung up. Smelled a lot like a scam. Someone should look into them

No means no

Absolute n*bhead on the phone , shouting at my wife when all she did was ask how they got her number , she’s asked numerous times now to be removed from their calling list but they keep on coming back , why don’t you just get a real job and earn your money instead of scamming others , absolute scum of the earth . Just as a side point and this is for trust pilot themselves , you might want to look into Carson burneys account as it seems they are the only one to give 5 stars to this ridiculous company , I’d put my money on them owning the “company”

Cold call- rude

Cold call. Couldn't tell me how they got my number. As she spoke I researched and saw the trust reviews. Told "sofia" I wasn't interested due to their reviews and trust score and was told I was wrong and couldn't type or spell as they couldn't possibly have bad reviews. I said goodbye and hung up just for her to call again to tell me I was wrong and harass me some more. Beware of traderacademy.io.

Scam call - phishing

Scam call about "free" trading and education from a scam artist with 10 years of scamming people experience in the forex. Funny thing is, that I am confident that haven't shared my number anywhere, but somehow they still got it. When asked twice how they got it, the guy said ''by my marketing specialist'' aka - we paid someone to steal the data.
Expect rude behavior, pushy old-school approach ''you do what I say; there isn't such answer as 'no'", etc.

Be aware that this is illegal. Every company that uses your data without your consent, can be sued and liable (by GDPR and other rules) for a % of their gross profit!

Number used was +44 7893 946909
