BaFin warns against ElitGuru on suspicion of unauthorised investment fraud
The Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) published an official warning against the ElitGuru platform on 26 August 2026. As reported by Google News DE — Crime (de), the provider is suspected of offering unauthorised financial and crypto services.
BaFin has classified ElitGuru as fraudulent. The warning is directed at investors who have invested through the platform or received corresponding offers.
Furthermore, there is evidence that content templates and advertising statements from ElitGuru show similarities with other platforms — including zentrumpro.com. Specifically, identical numerical information regarding alleged experience and trading volumes has been documented. According to expert assessment, such parallels point to so-called template marketing or shared modular systems.
This pattern is typical of online investment fraud cases according to specialists. Perpetrators rely on digital infrastructure, manipulated trading platforms and aggressive online communication to deceive investors and obtain funds.
Those affected are urged to preserve evidence — including bank statements, communication histories and screenshots of transactions and platform views. In the event of suspicion, it is advisable to act quickly, as secured documents are crucial for potential legal enforcement.
The official BaFin statement on elitguru.com is available on the authority's website.
