The CryptoNova / CryptoNova84 recovery process — what we do for you

  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 CryptoNova / CryptoNova84. 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 PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90. Your bank has 8 weeks to respond.
  4. We escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
  5. We coordinate the criminal report with Action Fraud — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

How this scam works

CryptoNova / CryptoNova84 follows a pattern our recovery team sees every week: unregulated brokers targeting retail investors with polished websites, hard-sell account managers, and platform interfaces designed to make deposits easy and withdrawals impossible. The FCA added it to their public warning list because they identified specific breaches of local securities law.

Red flags to recognize

  • 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
  • Not listed in the FCA public register of authorised firms

Recovery timeline for this case type

Time-to-recovery for CryptoNova / CryptoNova84 victims varies by the payment method used and bank cooperation. Card payments and SEPA transfers under PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90 have a mandatory 8-week response window. Crypto transfers require blockchain forensics — add 2-3 weeks. Cash-app style transfers depend on the platform. Escalation to Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) adds 90-120 days on average. Our team drives the process forward at every stage.

Frequently asked questions

Can I recover funds from CryptoNova / CryptoNova84 if my bank already refused?

Yes — this is one of the most common scenarios we win. Under PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90, your bank must justify a refusal in writing. We appeal the decision, submit evidence they missed, and escalate to Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). 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.

Is CryptoNova / CryptoNova84 the same as other scam brokers on your list?

Similar operational pattern, different corporate shells. Scam operators frequently rebrand — the same team behind CryptoNova / CryptoNova84 may operate other unregulated platforms under different names. We track cross-references between FCA-flagged brokers to strengthen your case.
