Reading the reviews it is like two different companies are being reviewed. And the more I think about it, that is possibly true. I was guided to Marketrip by British Bitcoin Profits, and their rep told me I would be phoned by a broker within 24 hours, but warned me that I may get scam calls. I was given a password to ask of the caller. When I turned on my phone the next day there had been 12 calls before lunchtime- all of them from numbers beginning 0203. (this number has occurred in negative reviews of Marketrip elsewhere). When they rang again I asked them for the password and they made one up. I let one of the calls run, and they tried to get me to open my account by investing more, even though I had already invested. Then I found an e-mail from Adam, who had tried to contact me , but his call (0208 number) had been lost in the plethora of scam calls. We arranged for a time for him to call the next day. He explained things very clearly and I went for the option where he would manage my trades. I got a call from Chloe, who did the verification and called me back to say that some of my evidences were blurred (don't think a scammer would do that.) Marketrip do not continually call you. I just got one more call from Adam to say that things were up and running. Then, within an hour of my proofs of identity being verified 1000 euros went into my account. Which leads me to wonder: have the people who have written negative reviews responded to the scam calls? God knows how they get your number and know that you have signed with Marketrip, but the negative experiences of repeated phone calls from 0203 numbers and the hard sell seem more in line with the scammers than with the actual company. So the lesson is- make sure you know who you are talking to.
