Rental or Holiday Scam? Bank Recall Request + Action Guide
Paid a deposit, bond, rent or holiday-accommodation payment for a place that turned out to be a scam? For $49 we draft two things you use yourself: a formal written report to your own bank or payment provider that asks it to try an urgent recall of the payment, to contact the receiving bank to freeze or return any funds still there, and — if you paid by card or PayPal — to raise a chargeback; plus a plain-English step-by-step guide telling you exactly who to contact first and how to report the fake listing. Acting fast gives the best chance, but recovering scammed money is often difficult and nobody can guarantee it. Claim Done is a flat $49 document service and takes no percentage of anything you recover. Never pay anyone who contacts you promising to get your money back.
What this document does
- For $49 we draft two things you use yourself: a formal written report to your own bank or payment provider that asks it to try an urgent recall of the payment, to contact the receiving bank to freeze or return any funds still there, and — if you paid by card or PayPal — to raise a chargeback; plus a plain-English step-by-step guide telling you exactly who to contact first and how to report the fake listing.
- Acting fast gives the best chance, but recovering scammed money is often difficult and nobody can guarantee it.
- Records the facts that matter on paper: what was paid for, how the payment was made, bank or payment provider, bank address or complaints contact.
- Sets a clear deadline and spells out what happens if they ignore it.
- Delivered as a PDF you download the moment it is ready.
What we'll ask you
Plain-English questions, one at a time. No legal knowledge needed — if you don't know an answer exactly, your best estimate is fine.
- What did you pay for?
- How did you pay?
- Which bank or payment provider did the money leave from? That's who this report goes to. Add your account or card number if you have it handy.
- Your bank's address or complaints contact, if you know it. If not, leave it blank — the big banks all take scam reports by phone and through their app or website.optional
- How much did you pay in total? Your best figure in dollars — add detail in the next questions if it was more than one payment.
- When did you pay, and when did you realise it was a scam? Even rough dates and times help — the sooner your bank acts, the better the chance of a recall.
- What details do you have for where the money went, and where was the listing? Any name, BSB and account number, PayID or PayPal email, plus the website or app the listing was on and any link.optional
- Did you ever inspect the property in person, or meet the landlord or agent face to face?
- What have you done so far? For example: have you called your bank's fraud line? Reported the listing? Contacted the real agent or owner?optional
