Seven websites named in the latest order

The latest blocking order covers the following websites and related pages:

• orvelin-invest.org — Orvelin-invest.org
• credessa-it.net — Credessa
• kcapital.net / my.kcapital.net — Kcapital
• webtrader.web-tradereurope.com — Web-tradereurope.com
• zelvarisgroup.ltd / inv.zelvarisgroup.ltd — Zelvaris Group Ltd
• capital-liquidity.com — capital-liquidity.com
• wealth-trade.capital / trade.wealth-trade.capital — Wealth Trade Capital

Several of the named platforms use separate login, trading, or investor pages in addition to their main websites. This structure has appeared frequently in recent warnings, where the public-facing page is separated from the area used for account access or trading activity.

Total blocked websites reaches 1,736

With the latest action, the total number of websites blocked by CONSOB since July 2019 has reached 1,736. Of these, 204 relate to crypto-related operations.

CONSOB has been using powers granted under Italys “Growth Decree” to order the blocking of websites operated by unauthorized financial intermediaries. Internet service providers in Italy are currently implementing the latest restrictions, although the actual blocking may take several days for technical reasons.

Deceptive online methods continue to change

CONSOB also warned that online fraud methods continue to evolve. The regulator pointed to the growing use of cloned emails and websites, fake profiles of public figures and celebrities, and AI-generated images, voices, or videos.

These tools are often used to make investment offers look more credible and to push users into sending money or personal data. The regulators latest action shows that unauthorized platforms are not only using standalone websites, but also connected portals and trading pages to support their activity.
