How OnlineRefundee recovers your money from Rock Trading Inc

  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 Rock Trading Inc. 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 FIEA Art. 29. Your bank has 30 weeks to respond.
  4. We escalate to the FINMAC (Financial Instruments Mediation) if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
  5. We coordinate the criminal report with National Police Agency Cyber Unit — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

How this scam works

JP-FSA flagged Rock Trading Inc 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 FIEA Art. 29 because your bank has a duty of care under PSD2.

Red flags to recognize

  • 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
  • Testimonials on their website use stock photos (reverse-image search reveals stolen identities)
  • Cold-called or messaged you unexpectedly via WhatsApp, Telegram or Instagram

Recovery timeline for this case type

The typical Japan-based case follows this timeline: Week 1-2, we file the initial PSD2/APP-fraud complaint with your bank citing the JP-FSA warning. Weeks 3-30, the bank has 30 weeks under FIEA Art. 29 to investigate and respond. If refused (60% of first responses), Weeks 32-38, we escalate to FINMAC (Financial Instruments Mediation) — our team overturns 62% of refusals at this stage. Weeks 38-46, funds returned or case moves to criminal referral. Most successful recoveries close in 8-16 weeks.

Frequently asked questions

What if I sent Rock Trading Inc 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 Rock Trading Inc if my bank already refused?

Yes — this is one of the most common scenarios we win. Under FIEA Art. 29, your bank must justify a refusal in writing. We appeal the decision, submit evidence they missed, and escalate to FINMAC (Financial Instruments Mediation). Our team overturns 62% of first-round bank refusals.

How much does recovery cost with OnlineRefundee?

Nothing upfront. Our fee only becomes due when we secure a redress offer for you — typically a percentage of the amount recovered. Case assessment is free. No win, no fee. Full details in our fee structure page.
