Visitors to these websites are offered the opportunity to enter their contact details in order to get in touch with a supposedly reputable provider of investment opportunities. As of November 2024, the website is currently advertising Immediate Core. BaFin issued a warning about this provider on 3 June 2024.

Anyone providing financial or investment services in Germany may do so only with authorisation from BaFin. However, some companies offer these services without the necessary authorisation. Information on whether a particular company has been granted authorisation by BaFin can be found in BaFin’s database of companies.

The information provided by BaFin is based on section 37 (4) of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz – KWG).
