How OnlineRefundee recovers your money from Poly-Globals
- 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 Poly-Globals. 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
FCA flagged Poly-Globals 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 PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90 because your bank has a duty of care under PSD2.
Red flags to recognize
- 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
- Aggressive sales tactics: told you the opportunity closes today
Recovery timeline for this case type
The typical UK-based case follows this timeline: Week 1-2, we file the initial PSD2/APP-fraud complaint with your bank citing the FCA warning. Weeks 3-8, the bank has 8 weeks under PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90 to investigate and respond. If refused (60% of first responses), Weeks 10-16, we escalate to Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) — 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 Poly-Globals 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 Poly-Globals 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 Poly-Globals 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.
