The Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) warns consumers about the website alijz(.)com and WhatsApp groups operated under the company name AL Konzept GmbH & Co. KG. In these WhatsApp groups, consumers are encouraged to use an app called alijzspro to invest in financial instruments. BaFin suspects the unknown operators of offering consumers financial services without the required authorisation.

Contrary to the operators’ claims, there is no connection between these digital services and the Grünwald-based company AL Konzept GmbH & Co. KG. This is a case of identity fraud. AL Konzept GmbH & Co. KG is not linked in any way to the website alijz(.)com, the app alijzspro or any WhatsApp groups operated in this context.

BaFin is issuing this warning on the basis of section 37 (4) of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz – KWG).
