Recently, a large number of websites with almost identical content have already come to light, and BaFin has also issued warnings about these. In the vast majority of, cases the presentation on the websites begins with the following sentence: “Step into the trading arena with confidence & [name of website]”. However, this introductory sentence has been changed in some cases, as on the website easyinvestingpro.com, to: “Step into the world of trading with [name of website]” or “Step confidently into the world of trading with [name of website]”. However, the rest of the content on the websites has remained essentially the same.
Anyone offering financial or investment services or crypto-asset services in Germany requires a license from BaFin. However, some companies offer such services without the required license. Information on whether a particular company is authorized by BaFin can be found in the company database.
The information provided by BaFin is based on Section 37 (4) of the German Banking Act (KWG) and Section 10 (7) of the German Crypto Markets Supervision Act (KMAG).
Please be aware:
BaFin, the German Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt – BKA) and the German state criminal police offices (Landeskriminalämter) recommend that consumers seeking to invest money online should exercise the utmost caution and do the necessary research beforehand in order to identify fraud attempts at an early stage.
