BaFin warns over KBG Beratung job ads and fake Mayer Brown site

  • —KBG Beratung advertised home-office roles to receive payments and swap them into crypto
  • —BaFin suspects unlicensed payment and crypto services
  • —The themayerbrown(.)com site misuses the identity of Mayer Brown LLP
  • —Regulator warned that routing third-party funds via personal accounts can be criminal
Why it matters: The scheme turns job seekers into money-laundering conduits for fraud victims' funds; BaFin urges checking its license database first.
