Our refund process for Asstes Botai victims

  1. Stop paying immediately. Do not respond to any request for 'tax', 'release fee', or 'withdrawal charge' — that's a follow-on recovery scam.
  2. Preserve your evidence (60 seconds). Save every screenshot, WhatsApp message, email and bank transfer receipt from Asstes Botai. This becomes the core of your bank complaint.
  3. We file the PSD2/APP-fraud complaint with your bank — a full dossier citing the official regulator warning plus Corporations Act s.911A. Your bank has 45 weeks to respond.
  4. We escalate to the AFCA (Australian Financial Complaints Authority) if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
  5. We coordinate the criminal report with ACSC / Scamwatch — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

How this scam works

The pattern with Asstes Botai 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 Corporations Act s.911A, we can escalate.

Red flags to recognize

  • Not listed in the ASIC public register of authorised firms
  • Refused to provide FCA/CONSOB/BaFin licence number when asked
  • Website domain registered within the last 6 months (young domain = red flag)
  • Uses "regulated by" claims from offshore jurisdictions (Vanuatu, St Vincent, Marshall Islands)
  • Trading platform shows unrealistic profits that always go up (fake pricing engine)

Recovery timeline for this case type

Recovery from Asstes Botai 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 Corporations Act s.911A. If the bank refuses, we escalate to AFCA (Australian Financial Complaints Authority) within 72 hours. Ombudsman decisions typically take 3-4 additional months. In parallel we coordinate criminal reporting.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still recover from Asstes Botai if the loss was more than a year ago?

Yes, in many cases. PSD2 rules and consumer protection law under Corporations Act s.911A 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.

What if I sent Asstes Botai crypto instead of a bank transfer?

Crypto recovery is harder but not impossible. We use blockchain forensics (Chainalysis, TRM Labs) to trace funds to regulated exchanges, then submit legal freeze requests. 30% of cases end up at a regulated exchange where recovery is possible.

Can I recover funds from Asstes Botai if my bank already refused?

Yes — this is one of the most common scenarios we win. Under Corporations Act s.911A, your bank must justify a refusal in writing. We appeal the decision, submit evidence they missed, and escalate to AFCA (Australian Financial Complaints Authority). Our team overturns 62% of first-round bank refusals.
