Welcome to our TopGreenMarkets Review. Please read this if you have invested or are considering investing with TopGreenMarkets.com and/or TradingWithKristina (Kristina A. McFadyen).
On January 1, 2023, the following scam report was posted on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) by a person who allegedly lost $122,601 to a scam cryptocurrency website found at topgreenmarkets.com, from which they cannot withdraw money.
According to the report,
I was approached by Kristina A. McFadyen on Instagram. She said I could copy her trades and make money online using a website known as Topgreenmarkets.com.
I lost a total of $122,000 in crypto. They claimed I could receive my withdrawals but then charged me huge fees they claimed were refundable.
I paid these fees called a TPM charge, and a fee called an API charge. They said I would receive no more charges and release my withdrawal. But then said I had to upgrade my account to the highest possible subscription level of $15,000 then and only then could I get the funds owed to me.
At this point they cleaned me out and I even took a bank loan to cover the fees. I know have no more money and they refuse to pay me the money I am owed. I was forced to pay 10% to the trader and 15% to the website. I paid those as well.
In sum, they state to release my withdrawal I must pay an additional fee of $15000. I can’t afford any more fees so they refuse to release the funds I am owed. They refuse to provide me with a phone number or address only an email address to info@topgreenmarkets.com.
The woman is supposed to be my account manager and she Kristina McFadyen has two Instagram accounts claiming she can help people make money online. She and the website scammed me out of all my funds and I cannot convince the account manager or the website to release my money.
They want an additional $15000 dollars and state I can then receive my withdrawals. I assume if I did pay the funds they would come up with another charge I would need to pay and it would never end.
They stole from me as I tried to make an extra few dollars for my family. But I lost everything to this woman Kristina McFadyen and the website Topgreenmarkets.com.
Reported telephone number is: +18163977128.

TopGreenMarkets Review
TopGreenMarkets.com was registered on May 14, 2022, for one year through Hostinger, UAB. The identity of the owners behind the domain is hidden using a privacy service provided by Privacy Protect, LLC (PrivacyProtect.org).
Even though they have been around for more than 8 months, they have not garnered significant traffic or backlinks and seem rather deserted.
They have around 18 pages indexed on Google, including the homepage, sign-in page, privacy policy, About Mining page, Stocks Trading page, Bitcoin Mining page, Cookie Policy, Sign Up page, Contact Us page, Copy Expert Traders page, General Risk Disclosure page, Responsible Trading page, Options Trading page, Dogecoin Mining page, What is Leverage page, About Us page, and Charts page.
Before looking at the website itself, let’s review some reviews.
TopGreenMarkets Reviews
There are some TopGreenMarkets scam reviews.
For example, on one Reddit thread, we find a warning that “TopGreenMarkets.com and tradeswtihkristina are scammers,” to which someone answers, “It’s a big scam site a ton of IG fake accounts are promoting.”
On scam-detector.com, the following comment was published on August 15, 2022: “100% a scam, cost me tons of money, please stay far away!”
And on trustedrevie.ws we found the following report: “Stay far away, endless fees with a withdrawal you will never ever receive. All the persons involved operate like a syndicate, stay very far away and save your money please.”
Is TopGreenMarkets a Scam?
According to TopGreenMarkets’ “About us” page, Topgreenmarkets.com was founded in 2014 by professionals to help people trade in Forex, Crypto Currency, and Stock Trading.
(Recall that the domain TopGreenMarkets.com was registered in May 2022, less than a year ago!)
TopGreenMarkets provide a trading platform for the long term and are committed to achieving exceptional results.
They have a dedicated corporate team, state-of-the-art headquarters, and a passion for helping people improve their lives.
They also provide a mining service where they have built the most efficient mining systems to mine competitively on behalf of their users. At the same time, they focus on tracking the market and actively contribute to the cryptocurrency ecosystem by launching awareness campaigns and releasing open-source mining software.
They have mining data centers worldwide that can support 6 mining algorithms for 10+ cryptocurrencies and others on request.
Unfortunately, the About page does not provide information about who is behind the company, such as a registered address, LinkedIn profiles, etc.
And combined with being a new domain, low popularity, and lack of backlinks, we feel that we can just not trust this website, not to mention the Top Green Markets scam reviews we’ve already seen.
Complaints We Received
On August 21, 2023, we received the following complaint from a person who reported being scammed for $3000 by the Instagram account “tradewithKristina.fx” and a Telegram page called CDF Trading Com, as well as miningsource.org:
I was contacted by Kristina A. McFadyen on Instagram using the handle “tradewithKristina.fx.”
She spent considerable time convincing me of her authenticity and persuaded me to join their Telegram group, “CDF Trading Com.” Though the group claims to have 1,800 members, few are active at any given time.
I decided to invest $1,000 with the understanding that after 48 hours, I would owe a 20% commission. From this investment, I made a profit of $10,000, leading me to pay a commission of $2,000. The broker, “miningsource.org,” sent me an email confirming the receipt of my commission. However, they claimed that they reinvested my profits for another 48 hours due to my delayed response. At the end of this period, a 15% reinvestment commission was due on a total profit of $69,000. Kristina reassured me and asked that I pay this new commission to receive my profits. This new commission amounts to an additional $10,350, a detail that wasn’t disclosed earlier.
I am reaching out to report Kristina, as well as “miningsource.org,” as potential scammers.
Here’s a Mining Source review.
Top Green Markets Review Conclusion
So, is TopGreenMarkets legit? Should you trade with Kristina?
At this point, we are relatively positive that Top Green Markets is indeed a scam, especially when we add that they deal with cryptocurrency mining, binary options trading, and CFDs while not providing contact information such as telephone number or physical address.
We’re not sure how TradingWithKristina is connected to TGM, but she might be an affiliate marketer for them or one of their “expert traders,” providing copy trading services.
