Important Warning

It has come to our attention that criminals are currently increasingly using the name and logo of Clearstream for investment fraud and other criminal activities (such as phishing). The aim is to trick potential victims into transferring money, disclosing sensitive data (such as passwords or account information), or installing malware.

We would like to clarify that these fraud attempts are not connected to us in any way, and we expressly distance ourselves from them. We neither endorse nor authorize them.

To safeguard against such potential risks, please note the following:

• No services for private clients: Clearstream does not offer investment products, trading accounts, transactions, or apps for private clients.
• No requests for payments or disclosure of data: We will not request you to transfer money, pay fees, or disclose personal data via text message, chat, or social media.
• No presence in social investment groups: We do not operate any trading or investment, or support groups on social networks or messenger services such as WhatsApp or Telegram.

Please note that this list is not exhaustive. Instead, these points present a summary of recurring patterns employed by fraudsters that have been identified through a review of reported cases. For additional insights on the methods employed by fraudsters, please refer to the following resources by Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (BaFin, German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority).

If you recognize any of the patterns described above in your specific case, we recommend that you cease communication and either report the incident to BaFin via this link or contact your local police station.
