How we get your funds back from Montara Capitals
- 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 Montara Capitals. 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 Wft Art. 2:96. Your bank has 8 weeks to respond.
- We escalate to the Kifid (Klachteninstituut Financiële Dienstverlening) if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
- We coordinate the criminal report with Politie Landelijke Eenheid — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

Message us on WhatsAppHow this scam works
Behind Montara Capitals is the classic investment-scam playbook: a website that looks like a legitimate broker, an "account manager" who WhatsApps you daily, and a dashboard showing fake profits. When you try to withdraw, they demand a "release tax" — that fee is the scam.
Red flags to recognize
- 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
- Aggressive sales tactics: told you the opportunity closes today
- Provided a "personal account manager" who chats daily to build trust
Recovery timeline for this case type
For Montara Capitals-type cases, expect this schedule: (1) Free case review — 24 hours. (2) Evidence pack assembly — 3-5 days.
