Erscheinung:07.03.2025 | Topic Unauthorised business, Consumer protection Interactive Assets: BaFin warns consumers about the additional websites interactiveassets.site and interactiveassets.top
BaFin issued warnings on 27 January 2025 and 12 February 2025 about Interactive Assets and its websites interactiveassets.pro, interactiveassets.biz and interactiveassets.trade, which have since been deactivated. The unknown operators are now using the websites interactiveassets.site and interactiveassets.top. BaFin suspects the operators of the websites 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. In addition, when advertising its services, the company claims to be supervised by BaFin. 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.
