Our refund process for montaria-sa.ch 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 montaria-sa.ch. 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 FinIG Art. 5. Your bank has 30 weeks to respond.
- We escalate to the FINMA Ombudsstelle if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
- We coordinate the criminal report with Fedpol — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

Message us on WhatsAppHow this scam works
FINMA flagged montaria-sa.ch after receiving multiple victim reports. This type of platform typically starts with a small "trial" deposit, shows fabricated profits to build confidence, then pressures larger deposits before all withdrawal attempts fail. Recovery is possible through FinIG Art. 5 because your bank has a duty of care under PSD2.
Red flags to recognize
- Provided a "personal account manager" who chats daily to build trust
- Encouraged you to hide the investment from family or bank staff
- Bank flagged the payment as suspicious but the broker urged you to override
- Testimonials on their website use stock photos (reverse-image search reveals stolen identities)
- Cold-called or messaged you unexpectedly via WhatsApp, Telegram or Instagram
Recovery timeline for this case type
Recovery from montaria-sa.ch 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 FinIG Art. 5. If the bank refuses, we escalate to FINMA Ombudsstelle within 72 hours. Ombudsman decisions typically take 3-4 additional months. In parallel we coordinate criminal reporting.
Frequently asked questions
Is montaria-sa.ch the same as other scam brokers on your list?
Similar operational pattern, different corporate shells. Scam operators frequently rebrand — the same team behind montaria-sa.ch may operate other unregulated platforms under different names. We track cross-references between FINMA-flagged brokers to strengthen your case.
How long until my funds return after montaria-sa.ch case is won?
Once the bank accepts liability or FINMA Ombudsstelle 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 montaria-sa.ch if the loss was more than a year ago?
Yes, in many cases. PSD2 rules and consumer protection law under FinIG Art. 5 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.
