Our refund process for Tresorwacht victims

  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 Tresorwacht. 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 local securities law. Your bank has 8 weeks to respond.
  4. We escalate to the financial ombudsman in your country if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
  5. We coordinate the criminal report with your national fraud unit — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

If anyone claiming to represent Tresorwacht contacts you, treat it as high risk — and never pay any fee to "release" funds.

How this scam works

Tresorwacht follows a pattern our recovery team sees every week: unregulated brokers targeting retail investors with polished websites, hard-sell account managers, and platform interfaces designed to make deposits easy and withdrawals impossible. The FMA added it to their public warning list because they identified specific breaches of local securities law.

Red flags to recognize

  • 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
  • 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)

Recovery timeline for this case type

Recovery from Tresorwacht follows a clear process. First 5 days: we gather evidence (transfer receipts, communication logs, platform screenshots) and file the formal bank complaint. Next 6-8 weeks: the bank investigates under PSD2 obligations set by local securities law. If the bank refuses, we escalate to financial ombudsman in your country within 72 hours. Ombudsman decisions typically take 3-4 additional months. In parallel we coordinate criminal reporting.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still recover from Tresorwacht if the loss was more than a year ago?

Yes, in many cases. PSD2 rules and consumer protection law under local securities law do not have a strict recovery deadline — the older the case, the more evidence work needed. We take cases from 3 months to 3 years old regularly.

What if I sent Tresorwacht 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 Tresorwacht if my bank already refused?

Yes — this is one of the most common scenarios we win. Under local securities law, your bank must justify a refusal in writing. We appeal the decision, submit evidence they missed, and escalate to financial ombudsman in your country. Our team overturns 62% of first-round bank refusals.
