The Financial Simple Market recovery process — what we do for you
- 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 Financial Simple Market. 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
Financial Simple Market 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 BCSC 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 BCSC public register of authorised firms
Recovery timeline for this case type
Time-to-recovery for Financial Simple Market victims varies by the payment method used and bank cooperation. Card payments and SEPA transfers under Securities Act s.25 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 OBSI (Ombudsman for Banking Services) adds 90-120 days on average. Our team drives the process forward at every stage.
Frequently asked questions
Can I recover funds from Financial Simple Market if my bank already refused?
Yes — this is one of the most common scenarios we win. Under Securities Act s.25, your bank must justify a refusal in writing. We appeal the decision, submit evidence they missed, and escalate to OBSI (Ombudsman for Banking Services). 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 Financial Simple Market the same as other scam brokers on your list?
Similar operational pattern, different corporate shells. Scam operators frequently rebrand — the same team behind Financial Simple Market may operate other unregulated platforms under different names. We track cross-references between BCSC-flagged brokers to strengthen your case.
