La Consob he imposed the blacking out of 11 sites that offered financial services without authorization. Thus a rule introduced by the Growth decree, the one that allows the Commission to oblige internet providers to block access from Italy to the sites of abusive financial intermediaries.
Here is the list of blocked sites:
- Dinengo Partners;
- Jean-Pierre Technologies;
- KBS Capital Markets;
- Northfintech FX Trading Services;
- Wallwood Brokers;
- 247 First Invest;
- Uptos;
- equalizer;
- Intermedia;
- Aquantum;
- Matrix bench.
For technical reasons, Consob explains in the press release, the actual blackout may take a few days. In all, 2019 websites of abusive financial operators have been closed since July 279.
Consob "calls the attention of savers to the importance of using the utmost diligence - continues the note - in order to make investment choices in full awareness, adopting common sense behaviors, essential for safeguarding one's savings: between these, preventive verification, for sites offering financial services, that the operator through which you invest is authorized and, for offers of financial products, that the prospectus has been published".
On the Consob website there is the section "Beware of scams!", where useful information is available to warn investors against abusive financial initiatives.
