antrag@raisinfestgeld(.)de and j.tarrant@raisinangebote(.)com: Bafin warns about emails using these addresses and highlights identity fraud

The financial supervisory authority Bafin warns about fixed-term offers sent from the email addresses antrag@raisinfestgeld(.)de and j.tarrant@raisinangebote(.)com. It is suspected that the unknown operators are conducting banking transactions without authorisation.

The operators claim that their offer originates from the licensed Raisin Bank AG. This is not the case. It constitutes identity theft.

Anyone offering banking transactions, financial, securities, crypto-asset services, or payment services in Germany requires authorisation from Bafin. However, some companies offer such services without the necessary authorisation. Information on whether a specific company is licensed by Bafin can be found in the database of companies.

Bafin’s information is based on Section 37(4) of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz - KWG).
