Erscheinung: 06.03.2026 | Topic Unauthorised business, Consumer protection exomarkets(.)pro: BaFin warns consumers about website and identity theft

The Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) warns consumers about the services offered on the website exomarkets(.)pro. According to information available to BaFin, this website is being used to offer financial, investment and cryptoasset services without the required authorisation.

The operators of the website refer to themselves only as Exomarkets without stating the company’s legal form. They claim to be based in Dublin, Republic of Ireland, and London, United Kingdom (UK). In messages to customers, the operators’ employees use email addresses such as support[at]exomarkets(.)de, compliance[at]exomarkets(.)de and s.reimann[at]exomarkets(.)de.

On the website, it is claimed that Exomarkets is registered with financial supervisory authorities in various countries. However, these registrations cannot be confirmed.

In documents presented to customers, the operators claim that Exomarkets is owned by EC Markets Group LTD and its “subsidiary” Multi Asset Solutions Limited. Both of these companies are registered with the UK ’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). BaFin has no information indicating that the two companies have any connection whatsoever to the website exomarkets(.)pro and the services offered there. It can be assumed that these are instances of identity theft.

Anyone providing financial, investment or cryptoasset 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 particular company has been granted authorisation by BaFin can be found in BaFin ’s database of companies.

BaFin is issuing this warning on the basis of section 37 (4) of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz – KWG) and section 10 (7) of the German Cryptomarkets Supervision Act (Kryptomärkteaufsichtsgesetz – KMAG).

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.
