Under the pretext of supposedly exclusive investment offers in the field of renewable energies, an attempt is made to get you to visit a fraudulent website. This site disguises itself as a supposed Bitcoin investment platform and has no connection to Sparkasse or DekaBank. Here you will be asked to enter personal information (name, telephone number and email address). You are then asked to deposit money into the fraudsters’ accounts for alleged investments.

CAUTION: Please do not enter any information on the fraudulent website. Otherwise, your information could be misused by fraudsters to call or email you.

The Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe's computer emergency team therefore urgently warns against these emails. If you have already entered information and made a transaction, please report this fraudulent transaction immediately to your account-managing institution or credit card provider. In this case, it is also advisable to file a criminal complaint with the police.
