How we get your funds back from gigapips.com

  1. Stop paying immediately. Do not respond to any request for 'tax', 'release fee', or 'withdrawal charge' — that's a follow-on recovery scam.
  2. Preserve your evidence (60 seconds). Save every screenshot, WhatsApp message, email and bank transfer receipt from gigapips.com. This becomes the core of your bank complaint.
  3. 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.
  4. We escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
  5. We coordinate the criminal report with Action Fraud — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

How this scam works

gigapips.com was added to FCA's watchlist because it is not authorised to provide investment services in UK. Unregulated brokers use offshore payment processors and shell companies to move victim funds fast — but PSD2 rules and Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) give you real recovery routes.

Red flags to recognize

  • Requested a "release fee", "tax", or "withdrawal charge" before you could access funds
  • Not listed in the FCA 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)

Recovery timeline for this case type

For gigapips.com-type cases, expect this schedule: (1) Free case review — 24 hours. (2) Evidence pack assembly — 3-5 days. (3) Formal bank complaint under PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90 — 6-8 weeks response window. (4) If refused, Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) escalation — 90-120 days. (5) Criminal report coordination — parallel track. Total: 8-20 weeks depending on bank cooperation.

Frequently asked questions

How long until my funds return after gigapips.com 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 gigapips.com 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.

What if I sent gigapips.com 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.
