Erscheinung:26.03.2025 | Topic Unauthorised business, Consumer protection Immediate Dash: BaFin warns consumers about the additional websites immediate-dash.de and immediate-dash.org
BaFin warned consumers about Immediate Dash on 5 March 2025. The unknown operators are now additionally using the websites immediate-dash.de and immediate-dash.org. BaFin suspects the operators of the websites of offering consumers financial, investment and cryptoasset services without the required authorisation.
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.
