How OnlineRefundee recovers your money from SwissCore
- 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 SwissCore. 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 FinIG Art. 5. Your bank has 30 weeks to respond.
- We escalate to the FINMA Ombudsstelle if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
- We coordinate the criminal report with Fedpol — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

Message us on WhatsAppHow this scam works
SwissCore was added to FINMA's watchlist because it is not authorised to provide investment services in Switzerland. Unregulated brokers use offshore payment processors and shell companies to move victim funds fast — but PSD2 rules and FINMA Ombudsstelle give you real recovery routes.
Red flags to recognize
- Trading platform shows unrealistic profits that always go up (fake pricing engine)
- Impossible to withdraw even small test amounts — always some technical issue
- Aggressive sales tactics: told you the opportunity closes today
- Provided a "personal account manager" who chats daily to build trust
- Encouraged you to hide the investment from family or bank staff
Recovery timeline for this case type
The typical Switzerland-based case follows this timeline: Week 1-2, we file the initial PSD2/APP-fraud complaint with your bank citing the FINMA warning. Weeks 3-30, the bank has 30 weeks under FinIG Art. 5 to investigate and respond. If refused (60% of first responses), Weeks 32-38, we escalate to FINMA Ombudsstelle — 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 SwissCore 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 SwissCore if my bank already refused?
Yes — this is one of the most common scenarios we win. Under FinIG Art. 5, your bank must justify a refusal in writing. We appeal the decision, submit evidence they missed, and escalate to FINMA Ombudsstelle. 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.
