How we get your funds back from Festgeldinfo24
- 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 Festgeldinfo24. 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 KWG § 32 + WpHG § 4. Your bank has 8 weeks to respond.
- We escalate to the BaFin Schlichtungsstelle if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
- We coordinate the criminal report with Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

Message us on WhatsAppHow this scam works
Festgeldinfo24 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 BaFin 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 BaFin public register of authorised firms

Frequently asked questions
How long until my funds return after Festgeldinfo24 case is won?
Once the bank accepts liability or BaFin Schlichtungsstelle 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 Festgeldinfo24 if the loss was more than a year ago?
Yes, in many cases. PSD2 rules and consumer protection law under KWG § 32 + WpHG § 4 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 Festgeldinfo24 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.
