Companies are currently receiving ominous emails from an organization “Transparenzregister eV”
The most important thing about the transparency register:
1. An organization sends payment requests by email
2. You should register and pay €49 annually for an entry in the transparency register
3. However, such an entry is free, the email is a blatant scam
Many companies receive an email from an organization called “Transparenzregister eV”, which already seems rather threatening in the subject of the email:

The email begins with the threatening words:
“Unfortunately, we have to discover that you have not yet entered the transparency register.
This constitutes an administrative offense.
We therefore request that you register within 10 days.”
The site on which you are supposed to register also looks reputable and has an imprint, which can lead to many entrepreneurs registering there hastily without asking themselves the first, obvious question: “ Why can a registered association give me one Be charged with an administrative offense? “

The devil is in the details
However, what looks like an official request is actually a registration for a “service” that is not defined in the terms and conditions in the amount of 49 euros per year, which also happens to be the amount of the annual fee if you want to become a member of the association.

Although the terms and conditions state: “ You can find out about the specific services offered on our article pages ,” but the only product that is offered is the entry in the register.
The real transparency register is free!
That association does nothing other than register a company on the real side of the transparency register. However, you can also do this yourself and it's free !
Entrepreneurs can register and register free of charge on the website “ transparenzregister.de

Conclusion
Marktspiegel ” explains, companies, associations, cooperatives and foundations, among others, must enter the persons who exercise influence over them as “beneficial owners” in the transparency register Companies that have already published their shareholdings in the commercial register generally already meet the requirements of the Money Laundering Act and no longer have to report their shareholdings specifically to the transparency register.
On the real page of the “ Transparency Register ” and on the website of the “ Federal Ministry of Finance ” there are also warnings about this brazen scam.
