de-capitalus(.)vom: Bafin warns consumers about website and suspected identity fraud in two instances
Why this matters
The document is a BaFin public warning about the website de-capitalus(.)com, which offers financial, investment and cryptoasset services without authorisation and falsely displays certificates from two Australian companies with no connection to it. It is issued under KWG s.37(4) and KMAG s.10(7). Sectors are limited to crypto and investment services because the text names those services. Topics reflect consumer harm and the missing authorisation. Urgency is high because the warning concerns an active fraud site that consumers should avoid now.
