BaFin Issues Fresh Warnings Against Six Suspected Investment and Crypto Scam Websites
Germany's Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has issued new warnings against six websites suspected of offering unauthorised banking, investment, securities, or crypto-asset services to investors.
Several of the latest cases involve alleged identity theft, with operators falsely claiming links to legitimate financial firms to gain credibility. BaFin said the websites are not supervised by the regulator and urged investors to verify a firm's authorisation before investing or transferring funds.
The regulator also highlighted the continued use of fraudulent fixed-term deposit offers and fake crypto investment platforms targeting retail investors. Under German law, firms providing banking, financial, securities, payment, or crypto-asset services must obtain BaFin authorisation.
