TOFRO.pro Exposed: The High-Risk Crypto Scam Masquerading as Copy Trading Through MTS Foundation
There’s a new so-called crypto “opportunity” doing the rounds — and it stinks to high heaven. It’s being pitched under the banners of TOFRO.pro, Tofro.com, and the MTS Foundation.
If you’re being lured in with promises of copy trading, guaranteed profits, or passive daily income, stop right there. This platform is riddled with red flags, and if you value your money, your devices, or your sanity — you’ll want to stay well clear.
What TOFRO and MTS Foundation Claim to Be
According to their promotional video, pitch deck, and onboarding documents, here’s what they’re claiming:
- MTS Foundation is a crypto copy trading “community” supposedly led by a man named Harris Levy.
- Users are encouraged to follow daily trade signals via Telegram, placing binary-style bets on whether Bitcoin will go up or down.
- You trade using the Tofro.pro platform (sometimes mistranscribed in videos as Tofra.com, but all pointing to the same domain).
- They claim users earn a daily profit of 1.5% or more, and that you can double your money in 40 to 51 days.
- You only risk 1% per trade, and if you lose, they claim you can recover it through a “five-stage” system that escalates your risk.
- Recruit others and you get bonus signals and team-building rewards — textbook MLM mechanics.
Why This Platform Is a Complete Scam
Even if you’ve never used the platform, the evidence speaks for itself:
1. Guaranteed Profits? Nope. That’s a Ponzi Trigger.
They claim their signals are right 98% of the time. That’s not just statistically improbable — it’s financial fiction. No legitimate trading platform will ever promise that level of success, especially while also warning you that it’s “not financial advice.”
2. Five-Stage Recovery Plan = Financial Suicide
This isn’t clever strategy — it’s a variation of the Martingale system. If you lose the first trade, you triple down. Lose again? Multiply again. This can wipe your entire account in days. And they’ve built a false sense of confidence by claiming you’ll never reach stage 5. Sure.
3. Withdrawal Conditions Are a Trap
They state you’ll be charged 5% to withdraw, and if you try to take your funds out before doubling your balance, you get hit with a 15% penalty. This is a manipulation tactic to keep money locked into the system.
4. MLM Pyramid In Disguise
You get bonuses if your recruits deposit 35% of your own balance. More recruits = more signals. That’s not a trading platform — that’s a multi-level marketing pyramid wearing a thin crypto mask.
5. No Company Transparency Whatsoever
Who owns TOFRO? They claim Roosevelt Perkins runs it, but there are no records. They also name Harris Levy as the founder of the MTS Foundation — yet there is no verifiable evidence that such a person even exists in the crypto or financial sectors. All signs point to this being a fabricated identity, likely invented to lend false credibility to the operation. There is no real company info. Just vague buzzwords, made-up performance claims, and a contact email: crypto@tofro-usa.com.
6. Fraudulent App Distribution
Clicking “Download App” immediately triggers a download of two unsafe files:
- .apk file (Android installer)
- .mobileconfig (iOS profile installer)
No links to official app stores. This is a serious malware risk. No legitimate exchange would ask you to sideload sketchy apps directly from their website.
Tofro’s Service Agreement: A Legal Hall Pass to Scam You
The platform’s official service agreement reads like a disclaimer from a boiler room. It’s full of sweeping liability waivers and excuses for poor security. Here’s what they openly admit:
- No Legal Entity Named: Nowhere in the agreement is a real company or owner listed.
- They Can Ban You for Any Reason: Your account can be frozen or deleted if they decide you “violated” the rules — no due process.
- Arbitration in Belize: Yes, Belize. This is a classic tactic to discourage lawsuits.
- They Admit the Software Could Be Dangerous: They don’t guarantee anything you download is safe or virus-free.
- They Disown All Trading Losses: Even if it’s from their system failing — you’re on your own.
- They Can Cancel Your Account if You Haven’t Logged In for a Year: And they can take your username too.
- They Cap Liability at 3 Months of Fees: Even if you lose your entire deposit.
This isn’t investor protection — it’s a legal shield for a scam.
Homepage Promises vs. Reality
- Claims 300,000 transactions per second? That’s 10x faster than Binance — not a chance.
- Claims it operates in 111 countries? No proof.
- Claims to be headquartered in the USA? No legal entity listed.
Every claim they make is unverifiable hype.
Why I’m Publishing This Without Using the Platform
You don’t need to drink the poison to know it’s toxic. These scams often use the same psychological tactics:
- Emotional manipulation
- Artificial hype and urgency
- Community bonding with cult-like Telegram groups
- Shameless gaslighting if you question the returns
Most of these scams collapse quietly, taking people’s savings with them. Then they rebrand and relaunch with a new name.
If You’re Promoting This, Expect to Be Watched
If you’re pushing this platform online or in Zoom calls, don’t be surprised if I show up in your meeting. I’ll be looking for links to live pitches. If you have Zoom invites or Telegram group names related to MTS, TOFRO, or Harris Levy — please send them through anonymously.

Conclusion: Stay Far Away
This isn’t just a high-risk platform — it’s a digital trap. Unrealistic returns, unverifiable leadership, shady app files, and a total lack of transparency. If you’re even thinking of investing in TOFRO or joining the MTS Foundation, please step back and re-evaluate.
It’s not about taking a risk — it’s about recognising a scam before it’s too late.
