How we get your funds back from Raindrop Brokers
- 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 Raindrop Brokers. 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 FSCA FMA s.6. Your bank has 30 weeks to respond.
- We escalate to the FAIS Ombud if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
- We coordinate the criminal report with SAPS Hawks — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

Message us on WhatsAppHow this scam works
FSCA flagged Raindrop Brokers 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 FSCA FMA s.6 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 FSCA public register of authorised firms
- Refused to provide FCA/CONSOB/BaFin licence number when asked
