Our refund process for Velmontcap 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 Velmontcap. 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 KWG § 32 + WpHG § 4. Your bank has 8 weeks to respond.
  4. We escalate to the BaFin Schlichtungsstelle if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
  5. We coordinate the criminal report with Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

How this scam works

Velmontcap was added to BaFin's watchlist because it is not authorised to provide investment services in Germany. Unregulated brokers use offshore payment processors and shell companies to move victim funds fast — but PSD2 rules and BaFin Schlichtungsstelle give you real recovery routes.

Red flags to recognize

  • 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
  • Guaranteed returns above 15% monthly — no legitimate investment can promise this
  • Pressured you to install remote-access software (AnyDesk, TeamViewer) to "help with trading"

Recovery timeline for this case type

Recovery from Velmontcap 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 KWG § 32 + WpHG § 4. If the bank refuses, we escalate to BaFin Schlichtungsstelle 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 Velmontcap if the loss was more than a year ago?

Yes, in many cases. PSD2 rules and consumer protection law under KWG § 32 + WpHG § 4 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 Velmontcap 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 Velmontcap if my bank already refused?

Yes — this is one of the most common scenarios we win. Under KWG § 32 + WpHG § 4, your bank must justify a refusal in writing. We appeal the decision, submit evidence they missed, and escalate to BaFin Schlichtungsstelle. Our team overturns 62% of first-round bank refusals.
