Can I Recover Money Lost to LWEX?
Whether money can be recovered depends less on the crypto label and more on how the payment was made, what the bank knew or should have recognised at the time, and whether the provider responded appropriately to unusual or high-risk activity. Potential avenues may include:
- Bank reimbursement complaints: if you sent funds from a UK account and there were warning signs that should have triggered intervention or stronger fraud checks.
- Financial Ombudsman complaints: if your bank rejects the complaint or offers an inadequate response, the Ombudsman may review whether the bank acted fairly and reasonably.
- Card disputes: if a debit card, credit card, or card-funded route was used, chargeback or Section 75 arguments may need to be explored depending on the transaction structure.
- Evidence-led escalation: screenshots, chat logs, wallet details, and the timing of blocked withdrawals can all help show that the payments were made into a suspected scam environment.
No outcome can be guaranteed, and not every payment will qualify for reimbursement. However, a refusal from the bank is not always the end of the matter, particularly where the facts were not fully considered at first review.
