How we get your funds back from Blue Fire Consulting
- 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 Blue Fire Consulting. 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 Wft Art. 2:96. Your bank has 8 weeks to respond.
- We escalate to the Kifid (Klachteninstituut Financiële Dienstverlening) if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
- We coordinate the criminal report with Politie Landelijke Eenheid — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

Message us on WhatsAppHow this scam works
Behind Blue Fire Consulting is the classic investment-scam playbook: a website that looks like a legitimate broker, an "account manager" who WhatsApps you daily, and a dashboard showing fake profits. When you try to withdraw, they demand a "release tax" — that fee is the scam.
Red flags to recognize
- 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
- Not listed in the AFM 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)
Recovery timeline for this case type
For Blue Fire Consulting-type cases, expect this schedule: (1) Free case review — 24 hours. (2) Evidence pack assembly — 3-5 days. (3) Formal bank complaint under Wft Art. 2:96 — 6-8 weeks response window. (4) If refused, Kifid (Klachteninstituut Financiële Dienstverlening) escalation — 90-120 days. (5) Criminal report coordination — parallel track. Total: 8-20 weeks depending on bank cooperation.
Frequently asked questions
What if I sent Blue Fire Consulting 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 Blue Fire Consulting if my bank already refused?
Yes — this is one of the most common scenarios we win. Under Wft Art. 2:96, your bank must justify a refusal in writing. We appeal the decision, submit evidence they missed, and escalate to Kifid (Klachteninstituut Financiële Dienstverlening). Our team overturns 62% of first-round bank refusals.
How much does recovery cost with OnlineRefundee?
Nothing upfront. Our fee only becomes due when we secure a redress offer for you — typically a percentage of the amount recovered. Case assessment is free. No win, no fee. Full details in our fee structure page.
