Erscheinung:04.08.2025 | Topic Unauthorised business, Consumer protection Dax Limited: BaFin warns consumers about websites
The Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) warns consumers about the services offered on the websites daxprime.com and gewinnerss.de. According to information available to BaFin, Dax Limited, Epsom, United Kingdom, is using these websites to offer financial, investment and cryptoasset services without the required authorisation.
The two websites are completely identical. BaFin has information indicating that the operator of these websites was also responsible for the website daxprime.eu, which is now inactive. It is at the very least doubtful whether the company Dax Limited, which is registered with the British Companies House, is actually the operator of the websites. This could be a case of identity theft.
Online research has also brought BaFin’s attention to the website axppay.com., which is similar in appearance to daxprime.com and gewinnerss.de. The contact information on the website axppay.com includes an address in Berlin. The operator of axppay.com has not been granted the required authorisation to offer consumers financial, investment and cryptoasset services either.
Anyone providing financial, investment or cryptoasset 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.
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.
