Primefincompany(.)com: Bafin warns consumers about website
Why this matters
BaFin warns consumers about the website primefincompany(.)com, which it suspects of offering financial, investment and cryptoasset services in Germany without authorisation. BaFin states there is no connection to the real company Prime Finance LTD and presumes identity fraud. The warning is issued under section 37(4) KWG and section 10(7) KMAG, and it directs consumers to BaFin's company database and fraud resources. Urgency is set to high because it flags an active fraud risk to consumers, though the warning itself imposes no obligation on regulated firms.
