Erscheinung:04.04.2024 | Topic Unauthorised business, Consumer protection BaFin warns consumers about the website liffebtc.com
The Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) warns consumers about the services offered on the website liffebtc.com. According to information available to BaFin, the as yet unknown operator is providing financial and investment services on this website without the required authorisation.
The website does not contain any information on the operator or its registered office. The nearly identical website liffedc.com is no longer active.
Anyone providing financial and investment 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 company has been granted authorisation by BaFin can be found in BaFin’s database of companies.
The information provided by BaFin is based on section 37 (4) of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz – KWG).
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.
