Our refund process for Afrimarkets Capital victims
- Stop paying immediately. Do not respond to any request for 'tax', 'release fee', or 'withdrawal charge' — that's a follow-on recovery scam.
- Preserve your evidence (60 seconds). Save every screenshot, WhatsApp message, email and bank transfer receipt from Afrimarkets Capital. This becomes the core of your bank complaint.
- We file the PSD2/APP-fraud complaint with your bank — a full dossier citing the official regulator warning plus FSCA FMA s.6. Your bank has 30 weeks to respond.
- We escalate to the FAIS Ombud if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
- We coordinate the criminal report with SAPS Hawks — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

Is Afrimarkets Capital still online?

If anyone claiming to represent Afrimarkets Capital contacts you, treat it as high risk — and never pay any fee to "release" funds.

Message us on WhatsAppHow this scam works
The pattern with Afrimarkets Capital is textbook: unsolicited contact, promises of guaranteed returns, pressure to install remote-access software, and fake trading dashboards. Your bank may have already refused to reverse the transfer — that's not the end of your case. Under FSCA FMA s.6, we can escalate.
Red flags to recognize
- Testimonials on their website use stock photos (reverse-image search reveals stolen identities)
- Cold-called or messaged you unexpectedly via WhatsApp, Telegram or Instagram
- Guaranteed returns above 15% monthly — no legitimate investment can promise this
- Pressured you to install remote-access software (AnyDesk, TeamViewer) to "help with trading"
- Requested a "release fee", "tax", or "withdrawal charge" before you could access funds
Recovery timeline for this case type
Recovery from Afrimarkets Capital follows a clear process. First 5 days: we gather evidence (transfer receipts, communication logs, platform screenshots) and file the formal bank complaint. Next 6-8 weeks: the bank investigates under PSD2 obligations set by FSCA FMA s.6. If the bank refuses, we escalate to FAIS Ombud within 72 hours. Ombudsman decisions typically take 3-4 additional months. In parallel we coordinate criminal reporting.
Frequently asked questions
Is Afrimarkets Capital the same as other scam brokers on your list?
Similar operational pattern, different corporate shells. Scam operators frequently rebrand — the same team behind Afrimarkets Capital may operate other unregulated platforms under different names. We track cross-references between FSCA-flagged brokers to strengthen your case.
How long until my funds return after Afrimarkets Capital case is won?
Once the bank accepts liability or FAIS Ombud rules in your favour, funds typically arrive in your account within 14-30 days. Some banks are faster. We monitor the account and chase daily until funds land.
Can I still recover from Afrimarkets Capital if the loss was more than a year ago?
Yes, in many cases. PSD2 rules and consumer protection law under FSCA FMA s.6 do not have a strict recovery deadline — the older the case, the more evidence work needed. We take cases from 3 months to 3 years old regularly.
