BaFin: Marketplace24-7 GmbH Offering Investments Without Prospectus
Summary
BaFin has evidence that Marketplace24-7 GmbH and Commercehelden GmbH are offering capital investments in Germany without a published prospectus, violating German law. Investors are warned about this offering, and BaFin requests information from potential whistleblowers.
What changed
The German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has issued a warning regarding Marketplace24-7 GmbH and Commercehelden GmbH, who are allegedly offering capital investments in Germany under the name "Amazon Parcels" without publishing the legally required prospectus. This action contravenes Section 6 of the German Capital Investment Act (Vermögensanlagengesetz – VermAnlG). BaFin emphasizes that while it approves prospectuses for content completeness and understandability, it does not verify the accuracy of the information or the issuer's reliability.
Regulated entities and investors should be aware of this unauthorized offering. BaFin encourages individuals with information about the offeror, such as contract templates or contact details, to report it through their whistleblower contact point. This notice serves as a warning to the public about potential non-compliance with German prospectus requirements for capital investments.
What to do next
- Review BaFin's prospectus database for approved prospectuses before investing in public capital offerings.
- Report any specific information regarding Marketplace24-7 GmbH or Commercehelden GmbH's offering to BaFin's whistleblower contact point.

The Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has evidence indicating that Marketplace24-7 GmbH, domiciled in Freienbach, Switzerland, together with Commercehelden GmbH, domiciled in Innsbruck, Austria, is offering capital investments to the public in Germany under the name of “Amazon Parcels” (Amazon-Warenpakete) via the website of the Non-Dom Group. In contravention of section 6 of the German Capital Investment Act (Vermögensanlagengesetz – VermAnlG), a prospectus has not been published for this product.
Capital investments may be offered to the public in Germany only if a prospectus has been published that BaFin has approved beforehand. During the approval process, BaFin checks whether the minimum information required by law is included in the prospectus and whether its content is understandable, coherent and consistent. However, BaFin does not check whether the information contained in the prospectus is correct. Moreover, it does not check whether the issuer is reliable nor does it examine the product in question. Issuers of capital investments must ensure that this is clearly indicated in their prospectuses. The issuers are liable for the accuracy of the information contained in the prospectus.
You can check whether an approved prospectus for offers of capital investments to the public has been filed with BaFin by consulting the database Prospectuses filed on the BaFin website.
