- 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 St. Mary Capital. This becomes the core of your bank complaint.
- We file the PSD2/APP-fraud complaint with your bank — a full dossier citing the Médiateur-jurisdiction regulator warning plus Code monétaire L. 573-1. Your bank has 8 weeks to respond.
- We escalate to the Médiateur de l'AMF if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
- We coordinate the criminal report with Plateforme PHAROS — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

- Website domain registered within the last 6 months (young domain = red flag)
- Uses "regulated by" claims from offshore jurisdictions (Vanuatu, St Vincent, Marshall Islands)
