How OnlineRefundee recovers your money from Trader AI

  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 Trader AI. 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 PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90. Your bank has 8 weeks to respond.
  4. We escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
  5. We coordinate the criminal report with Action Fraud — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

How this scam works

Trader AI was added to FCA's watchlist because it is not authorised to provide investment services in UK. Unregulated brokers use offshore payment processors and shell companies to move victim funds fast — but PSD2 rules and Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) 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 UK-based case follows this timeline: Week 1-2, we file the initial PSD2/APP-fraud complaint with your bank citing the FCA warning. Weeks 3-8, the bank has 8 weeks under PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90 to investigate and respond. If refused (60% of first responses), Weeks 10-16, we escalate to Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) — our team overturns 62% of refusals at this stage. Weeks 16-24, funds returned or case moves to criminal referral. Most successful recoveries close in 8-16 weeks.

Frequently asked questions

What if I sent Trader AI 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 Trader AI if my bank already refused?

Yes — this is one of the most common scenarios we win. Under PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90, your bank must justify a refusal in writing. We appeal the decision, submit evidence they missed, and escalate to Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). 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.
