This move aims to protect investors from deceptive schemes.
Among the blocked platforms are Imperialcap24 Limited, Top Markets Ltd, AfexEU, and Bitblanco.
CONSOB
The Italian financial services regulator Consob has
once again taken action against fraudulent financial services by blocking five
websites suspected of offering illegal financial services. This move happened
barely a month after the regulator blocked six websites to protect investors
from deceptive schemes.
Suspected Unlawful Operations
Consob's latest crackdown targets various websites
operating without proper authorization to offer financial services. Among these platforms are Imperialcap24 Limited and Top Markets Ltd, AfexEU,
Bitblanco, INVESTRIUM, and FameFX24.
The suspicious entities operate the website domains https://imperialcap24.com, https://wt.imperialcap24.com, www.afexeultd.com,
https://investriumltd.com, https://investriumltd.com, and https://famefx24.com,
respectively.
According to the watchdog, these websites were found
to be violating regulations. Since acquiring the authority to order the
blackout of fraudulent financial websites in July 2019, Consob has now
blocked a total of 1,047 websites.

Ongoing Battle against Financial Fraud
Early this month, CONSOB restricted six websites
operating without approval. This action targeted several websites, including
Ether Limited, Aegion Group Ltd, Investment Analysts, Fidelitycfd, Mex-Fx, and
Ultraford. According to the watchdog, these platforms were found
to be offering financial services without proper authorization, posing
significant risks to investors.
Since July 2019, Consob has restricted multiple websites
involved in fraudulent financial activities. The agency has emphasized due
diligence in making investment decisions, urging investors to verify the
authorization of financial service providers and the publication of
prospectuses for financial products.
Globally, financial regulators like Canada's
Securities Administrators and Belgium's Financial Services and Markets
Authority have cautioned against fraudulent online trading platforms. Similarly, the UK's Financial Conduct Authority has
intensified efforts to combat financial scams by issuing over 2,000
warnings in 2023 alone.
Clone brokers pose a significant threat to investors by utilizing the credentials of legitimate brokers to deceive clients. Consob highlighted these deceptive tactics used by clone websites, which adopt names similar to licensed entities but lack legitimate authorization.
