How OnlineRefundee recovers your money from Nova Trade
- 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 Nova Trade. 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 TUF Art. 166 + D.Lgs. 231/2007. Your bank has 8 weeks to respond.
- We escalate to the Arbitro Bancario Finanziario (ABF) if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
- We coordinate the criminal report with Guardia di Finanza / Polizia Postale — 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 Nova Trade 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 TUF Art. 166 + D.Lgs. 231/2007, we can escalate.
Red flags to recognize
- 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
- Encouraged you to hide the investment from family or bank staff
- Bank flagged the payment as suspicious but the broker urged you to override
Recovery timeline for this case type
The typical Italy-based case follows this timeline: Week 1-2, we file the initial PSD2/APP-fraud complaint with your bank citing the CONSOB warning. Weeks 3-8, the bank has 8 weeks under TUF Art. 166 + D.Lgs. 231/2007 to investigate and respond. If refused (60% of first responses), Weeks 10-16, we escalate to Arbitro Bancario Finanziario (ABF) — our team overturns 62% of refusals at this stage. Weeks 16-24, funds returned or case moves to criminal referral. Most successful recoveries close in 8-16 weeks.
Frequently asked questions
How long until my funds return after Nova Trade case is won?
Once the bank accepts liability or Arbitro Bancario Finanziario (ABF) 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 Nova Trade if the loss was more than a year ago?
Yes, in many cases. PSD2 rules and consumer protection law under TUF Art. 166 + D.Lgs. 231/2007 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 Nova Trade 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.
