Start your free case assessmentHow forex & binary options scam works
Unlicensed forex, CFD and binary-options 'brokers' present a regulated appearance while manipulating trades, blocking withdrawals and assigning fake 'account managers' who pressure further deposits. Many operate from offshore shells outside the jurisdiction they target.
Warning signs
- The broker is not listed by your national regulator
- An 'account manager' urging ever-bigger deposits
- Bonuses that lock your funds
- Withdrawals delayed or denied
- Pressure after losses to 'win it back'
The recovery framework in Bosnia and Herzegovina
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the bodies and rules most relevant to your case are:
| Financial regulator | Securities Commissions (FBiH / RS); Central Bank of BiH (CBBH) |
|---|---|
| Banking / payments supervisor | Banking Agencies FBA / ABRS |
| Dispute resolution / ombudsman | Banking-system Ombudsman (within FBA and ABRS, one per entity) |
| Currency | BAM |
| SEPA zone | no |
Visa/Mastercard chargebacks under scheme rules. NOT in SEPA — cross-border non-card payments use international wire/SWIFT. Banks supervised by entity Banking Agencies (FBA/ABRS); two banking-system Ombudsmen (one per entity).
If you paid a bank in Bosnia and Herzegovina — for example UniCredit Bank d.d. Mostar, Raiffeisen Bank BiH or ASA Banka Sarajevo — contact its fraud team as soon as possible, as a recall is far more likely while the money is still there.
Can you get your money back?
For forex & binary options scam cases in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the primary route is usually card chargeback (visa / mastercard). A chargeback reverses a card payment by raising a dispute through the Visa or Mastercard scheme via your issuing bank, which claws the funds back from the merchant's acquirer under defined dispute reason codes.
Where the facts allow, we also pursue regulator & ombudsman complaint as a secondary route.
Card deposits often support a chargeback within scheme timeframes, reinforced by a complaint to the regulator that the broker is unlicensed. Documented, prompt action is key.

- Deposit records (card or transfer)
- Trading statements and account screenshots
- Communications with the account manager
- The terms and bonus conditions you accepted
The recovery process
- Free assessment. We review how, when and to whom the funds were sent.
- Evidence pack. We assemble transaction records, communications and platform details.
- Action. We initiate the relevant route — card chargeback (visa / mastercard) or regulator & ombudsman complaint — and engage the bank, provider or exchange.
- Escalation. Where needed, we escalate to Banking-system Ombudsman (within FBA and ABRS, one per entity) or Securities Commissions (FBiH / RS); Central Bank of BiH (CBBH).
Why acting fast matters
Usually must be raised within about 120 days of the transaction or expected delivery date, though exact windows vary by scheme and reason code. Recovery prospects fall sharply once funds are withdrawn or moved across borders, so the sooner you start, the stronger your position. Even older cases can be worth assessing — but do not wait to find out.
