How OnlineRefundee recovers your money from PORTAL CAMBIO
- 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 PORTAL CAMBIO. 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 LMV Art. 240 + Ley 10/2010. Your bank has 8 weeks to respond.
- We escalate to the Servicio de Reclamaciones del Banco de España if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
- We coordinate the criminal report with Grupo de Delitos Telemáticos — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

Message us on WhatsAppHow this scam works
PORTAL CAMBIO was added to CNMV's watchlist because it is not authorised to provide investment services in Spain. Unregulated brokers use offshore payment processors and shell companies to move victim funds fast — but PSD2 rules and Servicio de Reclamaciones del Banco de España 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 CNMV 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
The typical Spain-based case follows this timeline: Week 1-2, we file the initial PSD2/APP-fraud complaint with your bank citing the CNMV warning. Weeks 3-8, the bank has 8 weeks under LMV Art. 240 + Ley 10/2010 to investigate and respond. If refused (60% of first responses), Weeks 10-16, we escalate to Servicio de Reclamaciones del Banco de España — 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 PORTAL CAMBIO case is won?
Once the bank accepts liability or Servicio de Reclamaciones del Banco de España 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 PORTAL CAMBIO if the loss was more than a year ago?
Yes, in many cases. PSD2 rules and consumer protection law under LMV Art. 240 + Ley 10/2010 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 PORTAL CAMBIO 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.
