Erscheinung:07.03.2025 | Topic Unauthorised business, Consumer protection Identity fraud: BaFin warns consumers about the company Revolvo
The Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) warns consumers about the company Revolvo and the services it is offering. BaFin suspects the unknown operators of the website revolvo.pro of offering consumers financial, investment and cryptoasset services without the required authorisation.
The unknown operators are contacting consumers, claiming that their offer is from Baden-Württembergische Wertpapierbörse GmbH or Börse Stuttgart GmbH. However, none of this information is correct. This is a case of identity fraud.
BaFin is issuing this information on the basis of section 37 (4) of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz – KWG) and section 10 (7) of the German Cryptomarkets Supervision Act (Kryptomärkteaufsichtsgesetz).
Please be aware:
BaFin, the German Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt – BKA) and the German state criminal police offices (Landeskriminalämter) recommend that consumers seeking to invest money online should exercise the utmost caution and do the necessary research beforehand in order to identify fraud attempts at an early stage.
