Recovery scams target people who have already been defrauded, posing as recovery agents, 'cyber units', lawyers or even regulators who can get your money back — for an upfront fee. They often already hold your details from an earlier breach, which makes them convincing.
Warning signs
- Unsolicited contact offering to recover your loss
- Any demand for an upfront fee to 'release' funds
- Claims of a guaranteed recovery
- Pressure and urgency
- 'Officials' who contacted you first
The recovery framework in Finland
In Finland, the bodies and rules most relevant to your case are:
| Financial regulator | Finanssivalvonta (FIN-FSA) |
|---|---|
| Dispute resolution / ombudsman | FINE — Finnish Financial Ombudsman Bureau |
| Currency | EUR |
| SEPA zone | yes |
Visa/Mastercard chargebacks on Finnish-issued cards; EUR/SEPA member with recall available. PSD2 unauthorised-payment refund applies. FINE operates the Banking Complaints Board.
If you paid a bank in Finland — for example OP Financial Group, Nordea or Danske Bank (Finland) — 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 recovery scam awareness cases in Finland, the primary route is usually regulator & ombudsman complaint. A formal complaint to the financial regulator or ombudsman creates an official record, can trigger supervisory action against a licensed entity, and is often a required step before further escalation.
A legitimate firm explains the realistic routes, never guarantees recovery, and is transparent about costs. If someone contacts you first and demands an upfront fee to 'release' your money, treat it as a second scam.
Evidence to gather now
The stronger your evidence, the better your prospects. For recovery scam awareness, gather:
- The approach itself (message, number, email)
- Any fee they requested or you paid
- Names, titles and organisations claimed
- Websites or documents they sent
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 — regulator & ombudsman complaint — and engage the bank, provider or exchange.
- Escalation. Where needed, we escalate to FINE — Finnish Financial Ombudsman Bureau or Finanssivalvonta (FIN-FSA).
Why acting fast matters
Deadlines vary; ombudsman schemes typically require you to complain to the firm first, then refer within a set period. 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.
