Our refund process for Fortified Option Limited victims
- 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 Fortified Option Limited. 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
The pattern with Fortified Option Limited is textbook: unsolicited contact, promises of guaranteed returns, pressure to install remote-access software, and fake trading dashboards. Your bank may have already refused to reverse the transfer — that's not the end of your case. Under Securities Act s.25, we can escalate.
Red flags to recognize
- Not listed in the BCSC 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)
- Uses "regulated by" claims from offshore jurisdictions (Vanuatu, St Vincent, Marshall Islands)
- Trading platform shows unrealistic profits that always go up (fake pricing engine)
Recovery timeline for this case type
Recovery from Fortified Option Limited follows a clear process. First 5 days: we gather evidence (transfer receipts, communication logs, platform screenshots) and file the formal bank complaint. Next 6-8 weeks: the bank investigates under PSD2 obligations set by Securities Act s.25. If the bank refuses, we escalate to OBSI (Ombudsman for Banking Services) within 72 hours. Ombudsman decisions typically take 3-4 additional months. In parallel we coordinate criminal reporting.
Frequently asked questions
Can I still recover from Fortified Option Limited if the loss was more than a year ago?
Yes, in many cases. PSD2 rules and consumer protection law under Securities Act s.25 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 Fortified Option Limited 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 Fortified Option Limited 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.
