How we get your funds back from ETHGO
- 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 ETHGO. 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 Securities Act s.25. Your bank has 30 weeks to respond.
- We escalate to the OBSI (Ombudsman for Banking Services) if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
- We coordinate the criminal report with RCMP CAFC — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

Message us on WhatsAppHow this scam works
BCSC flagged ETHGO after receiving multiple victim reports. This type of platform typically starts with a small "trial" deposit, shows fabricated profits to build confidence, then pressures larger deposits before all withdrawal attempts fail. Recovery is possible through Securities Act s.25 because your bank has a duty of care under PSD2.
Red flags to recognize
- 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 BCSC public register of authorised firms
- Refused to provide FCA/CONSOB/BaFin licence number when asked
Recovery timeline for this case type
For ETHGO-type cases, expect this schedule: (1) Free case review — 24 hours. (2) Evidence pack assembly — 3-5 days. (3) Formal bank complaint under Securities Act s.25 — 6-8 weeks response window. (4) If refused, OBSI (Ombudsman for Banking Services) escalation — 90-120 days. (5) Criminal report coordination — parallel track. Total: 8-20 weeks depending on bank cooperation.
Frequently asked questions
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 ETHGO the same as other scam brokers on your list?
Similar operational pattern, different corporate shells. Scam operators frequently rebrand — the same team behind ETHGO may operate other unregulated platforms under different names. We track cross-references between BCSC-flagged brokers to strengthen your case.
How long until my funds return after ETHGO case is won?
Once the bank accepts liability or OBSI (Ombudsman for Banking Services) 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.
