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

Message us on WhatsAppHow this scam works
Gainix Wave 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
- 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)
- Impossible to withdraw even small test amounts — always some technical issue
Recovery timeline for this case type
Recovery from Gainix Wave 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 PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90. If the bank refuses, we escalate to Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) within 72 hours. Ombudsman decisions typically take 3-4 additional months. In parallel we coordinate criminal reporting.
Frequently asked questions
Is Gainix Wave the same as other scam brokers on your list?
Similar operational pattern, different corporate shells. Scam operators frequently rebrand — the same team behind Gainix Wave may operate other unregulated platforms under different names. We track cross-references between FCA-flagged brokers to strengthen your case.
How long until my funds return after Gainix Wave case is won?
Once the bank accepts liability or Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) 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 Gainix Wave if the loss was more than a year ago?
Yes, in many cases. PSD2 rules and consumer protection law under PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90 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.
