MTFE Reviews
On June 29, 2023, we received the following complaint:
I invested in a digital energy mining company, but unfortunately, the company closed down after just 100 days. Fortunately, I didn’t lose my money, but many people who joined in the last few days have lost money. As a result of this issue, my two bank accounts were frozen.
On August 11, 2023, we received the following complaint:
I deposited 2,000 USDT into the MTFE platform and cannot withdraw funds from the wallet.
On August 12, 2023, we received the following complaint:
I have a withdrawal issue with MTFE (Metaverse Foreign Exchange Group). I’m worried about being scammed.
On August 15, 2023, we received two additional complaints:
I cannot make withdrawals, and I want to withdraw my money. My account balance is about $800, but I cannot access it.
The MTFE withdrawal process requires you to transfer funds from your asset account to your wallet. The moment you initiate this transfer, the money leaves the asset account and takes an extended period to reflect in your wallet. Your money is effectively trapped. I have lost $150 to this platform, which is a significant amount in my country.
On August 18, 2023, we were flooded with complaints.
Several users have reported negative experiences with the MTFE app. People from an investment WhatsApp group who deposited in MTFE had their withdrawals blocked due to a server error. Later, their funds shifted to a negative balance, and they were asked to deposit more to counteract this.
Multiple accounts have shifted to negative balances, with amounts ranging from approximately -$100 to over -$900.
Users have been unable to withdraw funds from the platform, with some citing that their assets read negative even after investing significant amounts.
Concerns arose, especially in August, with several users mentioning that MTFE stopped allowing withdrawals around the 6th to 8th of the month.
Several users believe the platform has scammed them. One user claimed the loss to be around $1800 and emphasized the financial difficulties faced by many in Bangladesh due to such scams.
A detailed account from a user who joined in June 2023 shared that in the initial days, they consistently received profits. Trusting the platform, they introduced family members and made collective investments. However, their withdrawal was stuck in August, with customer support citing server upgrades. Subsequently, forced AI transactions resulted in huge losses, with their assets showing negative values, culminating in a total loss of around $16000.
Multiple users feel scammed by the MTFE platform due to unauthorized AI trades, inability to withdraw funds, and lack of official customer support.
On August 23, 2023, we received two additional complaints regarding MTFE with total lost amount of almost $10K.
Bottom Line
MTFE, or Metaverse Foreign Exchange Group, is an offshore forex broker that is not licensed and, therefore, a risk to investors. The broker claims to be located in Canada and is regulated by FINTRAC, but FINTRAC is not the regulator in Canada.
The broker claims to be incorporated in Australia, but there is no proof that ASIC regulates it.
The broker’s trading software is confusing, and there is no way to access the user area. The broker does not offer any coherent way to open an account. The available assets to trade with are forex currency pairs, commodities, indices, and stocks.
The available payment gateways are e-wallets, credit cards, debit cards, and bank transfers, and there are withdrawal fees. The broker is considered a scam website, and investors should not invest in it.

I cannot withdraw since last week Monday, is there any help? About $800.
We’re really sorry to hear about your situation, and we understand how distressing this must be for you. Given that this appears to be a scam, the options for recovering your funds may, unfortunately, be limited, especially since the payment was made via cryptocurrency. Here are a few considerations:
1. Keeping a detailed record of all your communications and transactions with the company is important. This information could potentially be useful if there is ever a legal case against the scammers in the future.
2. Report the scam to your local police and relevant financial authorities. Your report could contribute to a larger investigation.
3. In situations like this, it’s common for scammers to target victims again by posing as “recovery services.” They will promise to recover your lost funds for a fee, but they are just trying to defraud you further. Please be extremely cautious and avoid engaging with such services.
4. Use this experience as a lesson for future investments. Always research thoroughly before investing money, especially in online platforms. Look for clear signs of legitimacy, such as proper licensing and positive, verifiable customer reviews.
We understand that this is a challenging situation and that none of these steps may bring immediate relief, but we hope they provide some guidance during this difficult time.
Pls i want to know how long MTFE has been in existence in Nigeria
I have been trading for last 1 year and it has been an amazing boon for me . Risks of forex trade are there . Deposit amounts that don’t burn your finger .
MTFE azosiman 4oydan beri foydalanaman bu platforma faol indeks orqali bor savdo qiladi ko’proq scam havfi kam deb bilaman
oldin kuzatgan platformalarim metago tron2016 kabi o’z o’zidan asossiz foyda berishardi bular berkildi
Translation from Uzbek: I am a member of MTFE. I have been using this platform for four months. It operates through an active index. I am aware that there’s a lower risk of fraud.
The platforms I examined previously, such as Metago and Tron2016, offered unrealistic profits, and they have since shut down.
Anyone said,its scam or real? How days we profit by mtfe?
Need to know is it legal in India?or not-Ponzi???? Who is the regulator in India?? To monitor these -innocent people shouldnot b trapped by this!!
In India, trading platforms are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). However, it’s important to note that SEBI’s jurisdiction applies only to registered and recognized entities operating within India. It might not have control over foreign platforms like MTFE, especially if they are not registered or regulated by SEBI.
In terms of legality, Ponzi schemes are illegal in India under the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978.
Always verify the registration and regulation status of the platform with the appropriate authorities (like SEBI in India) and read reviews and experiences of other users to make an informed decision.
As member of MTFE I could say as my own experience untill today this moment there is no any problem of withdrawing your funds, even just few minutes ago I received my profit using AI bot system…of course there are some minor issues which is updating regularly by the technical team…risk is always there when it comes to online businesses, if anyone investing money please think twice the investment which you are risking is can tolerate by your self…otherwise just enjoy your money in some other business….
I have been with mtfe since nov 2022 and I didnt find any issue in trade or withdrawal. As mentioned some occasions registration process is a bit slow
