Citizens have currently received supposed payment requests in the name of BaFin via email. They are asked to make transfers in order to get back money that was invested in unlicensed online trading platforms. In addition, an alleged security contract from BaFin, which is a forgery, is also sent.

To contact us, the unknown people use the email signature “BAFIN Team” and provide the name of the supposed employee Dr. for further correspondence. Thank God Berger. No person with the name mentioned is employed by BaFin.

The supervisory authority recommends that all consumers who receive such an offer of help not to accept it and to report it to the police or public prosecutor. If you have any doubts, you can also contact BaFin itself. The consumer hotline can be reached free of charge on 0800 2 100 500.

BaFin does not address individuals on its own initiative. Consumers should generally be extremely vigilant when third parties act under the name of BaFin.
