How OnlineRefundee recovers your money from Wealth-wave Asset
- 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 Wealth-wave Asset. 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 local securities law. Your bank has 8 weeks to respond.
- 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.
- 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.

Message us on WhatsAppHow this scam works
Wealth-wave Asset was added to FMA NZ's watchlist because it is not authorised to provide investment services in New Zealand. Unregulated brokers use offshore payment processors and shell companies to move victim funds fast — but PSD2 rules and financial ombudsman in your country 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 New Zealand-based case follows this timeline: Week 1-2, we file the initial PSD2/APP-fraud complaint with your bank citing the FMA NZ warning. Weeks 3-8, the bank has 8 weeks under local securities law to investigate and respond. If refused (60% of first responses), Weeks 10-16, we escalate to financial ombudsman in your country — 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 Wealth-wave Asset 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 Wealth-wave Asset 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.
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.
