I've contacted by someone claiming to…

I've contacted by someone claiming to work for you and he's asked me to allow him to use my anydesk and transfer funds to unknown banks as a way of retrieving my lost crypto currency. Mike Stuart is his name. He has a bafin photo ID. Please advise if this is legit or a scam I've tried to contact your website directly without any success.

Bafin supports banks with withholding customer's money

The financial regulation authority Bafin has a new CEO which obviously supports the misuse of the current covid pandemic to withhold money on bank accounts.

Two German banks, the Wüstenroth Bank and the Nibc Direct Bank have frozen my bank account without any reason and kept my money because I am out of the country. Due to the Covid travel and border restrictions citizens can't move freely within Europe anymore.
The banks obviously misuse the situation to freeze the bank accounts of citizens who are not in their resident country anymore and withhold the money with a major support of the Bafin. Complaints have been ignored by Bafin and no response are coming back on complaints.
