Why is this warning issued?
This warning has been included because it is based on a report from Watchlist Internet. It is intended to protect other users from this scam. The assessed risk is elevated.
How the scam works
- Current fraud case, reported by Watchlist Internet. See linked source for details.
- Unreliable platforms promise high, supposedly safe returns with crypto, stocks, or CFDs.
- After initial (faked) "profits," users are pressured into making ever higher deposits.
- Payouts are delayed or refused; additional "fees" are often demanded.
How to recognise it
- Guaranteed or above-average returns
- Pressure to quickly pay in more money
- Providers without BaFin authorization, advertising with celebrities
How to protect yourself
- Before any investment, check whether the provider is authorized by BaFin.
- Do not install remote access software and do not send ID documents to unknown platforms.
- If "guaranteed" returns and pressure to make additional payments are encountered, stop immediately.
- Do not react under time pressure – legitimate bodies do not push you into immediate action.
- If you are suspicious, contact the affected organization via the officially known phone number or website – never via contact details from the suspicious message.
- In case of fraud, file a report with the police and inform the consumer advice center.
