Erscheinung:16.06.2025 | Topic Unauthorised business, Consumer protection Anexo app: ZukunftsFinanz Stiftung sends fake BaFin letter
An alleged letter from BaFin is currently being sent via WhatsApp, in which payments in connection with an Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) via the Anexo-Ex trading platform are being demanded. This letter does not originate from BaFin, it is a forgery.
Fake:
The operators of the website pc.anexocc.com, who offer ‘professional cryptocurrency trading’ there, have previously operated on the market under the names Anexo Capital Concepts, Anexo-Ex and Anexocc-Ex. They have not been granted a licence to conduct banking, financial and investment services in Germany.
Since 23 April 2025, the financial supervisory authority BaFin has been warning against investment recommendations and investment offers from ZukunftsFinanz Stiftung, represented by Dr Max Becker, in particular via its WhatsApp group.
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.
The information provided by BaFin is based on section 37 (4) of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz – KWG).
Please be aware:
BaFin warns consumers about fraudulent term deposit offers.
You can view BaFin’s current warnings about companies operating without the required authorisation and find out how to protect yourself from fraudsters on the financial market in the “Recognising financial fraud” section of our website.
