Identity theft: Bafin warns consumers about offers sent from the email domain @backoffice-raisin(.)de
Why this matters
BaFin issued a consumer alert regarding identity theft and unauthorized financial services being offered via a spoofed email domain (@backoffice-raisin(.)de) impersonating the legitimate Raisin group. The warning emphasizes that only authorized entities may provide financial services in Germany and directs consumers to BaFin's authorization database. This is a standard fraud alert issued under KWG section 37(4), addressing unauthorized provision of financial services and consumer protection against financial fraud. While important for consumer awareness, it is a routine warning about a specific fraudulent actor rather than a new regulatory requirement or broad policy change.
