The Premier-Shares recovery process — what we do for you

  1. Stop paying immediately. Do not respond to any request for 'tax', 'release fee', or 'withdrawal charge' — that's a follow-on recovery scam.
  2. Preserve your evidence (60 seconds). Save every screenshot, WhatsApp message, email and bank transfer receipt from Premier-Shares. This becomes the core of your bank complaint.
  3. We file the PSD2/APP-fraud complaint with your bank — a full dossier citing the official regulator warning plus Securities Act s.25. Your bank has 30 weeks to respond.
  4. We escalate to the OBSI (Ombudsman for Banking Services) if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
  5. We coordinate the criminal report with RCMP CAFC — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

How this scam works

BCSC flagged Premier-Shares 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 Securities Act s.25 because your bank has a duty of care under PSD2.

Red flags to recognize

  • Guaranteed returns above 15% monthly — no legitimate investment can promise this
  • Pressured you to install remote-access software (AnyDesk, TeamViewer) to "help with trading"
  • Requested a "release fee", "tax", or "withdrawal charge" before you could access funds
  • Not listed in the BCSC public register of authorised firms
  • Refused to provide FCA/CONSOB/BaFin licence number when asked

Recovery timeline for this case type

Time-to-recovery for Premier-Shares victims varies by the payment method used and bank cooperation. Card payments and SEPA transfers under Securities Act s.25 have a mandatory 8-week response window. Crypto transfers require blockchain forensics — add 2-3 weeks. Cash-app style transfers depend on the platform. Escalation to OBSI (Ombudsman for Banking Services) adds 90-120 days on average. Our team drives the process forward at every stage.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still recover from Premier-Shares if the loss was more than a year ago?

Yes, in many cases. PSD2 rules and consumer protection law under Securities Act s.25 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 Premier-Shares 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.

Can I recover funds from Premier-Shares if my bank already refused?

Yes — this is one of the most common scenarios we win. Under Securities Act s.25, your bank must justify a refusal in writing. We appeal the decision, submit evidence they missed, and escalate to OBSI (Ombudsman for Banking Services). Our team overturns 62% of first-round bank refusals.
