Why GOBTC is on the register
GOBTC, at gobtc.me, advertises itself in Russian as a crypto exchanger in Budva, Montenegro, buying and selling crypto for cash, swapping roubles and hryvnias, sending money across Europe and even selling property for crypto. Contact is only through a Ukrainian phone number on WhatsApp, Viber and Telegram. It names no licence. Montenegro’s Capital Market Authority warned about it on 8 May 2026. Unlicensed exchangers offer no protection if cash or crypto goes missing. Therefore, GOBTC appears to be a scam.
If you have money with this broker
- Stop sending funds. Do not pay any further “fees”, “taxes” or “verification” charges to release a withdrawal — this is a common secondary scam.
- Preserve evidence. Save transaction IDs, wallet addresses, chat logs, and every screenshot before the account is closed.
- Report it. Notify your bank/exchange and your national financial regulator so the activity is on record.
- Get guidance. Tell us what happened and we will point you toward the right next step. We are a free public registry — we never charge any fees.
