Erscheinung:11.04.2016 BaFin warns of false payment demands
BaFin would like to stress that it does not send demands for payment requiring financial transactions to be made into accounts abroad. In such cases, please contact the police immediately.
So-called “CEO fraud” involves criminals using the identity of a member of the management board or a managing director of a company to make authorised employees transfer money into accounts abroad. In order to make the requests seem more believable, the perpetrators often also send falsified demands for payment supposedly issued by BaFin.
