Consob warning on Cms Ltd (www.capmarketstrategy.io, page https://client.capmarketstrategy.io) - Bitsterzio (https://www.bitsterzio.com) - Invest Atlas (https://investatlas.co) - Ether-Arena Ltd (www.ether-arena.com, https://vineab.com, page https://clientzone.vineab.com)
Consob ordered the blackout of 5 new websites which are offering financial services illegally.
The commission availed itself of the new powers resulting from the "Decreto Crescita" ("Growth Decree"; Law no. 58 of 28 June 2019, article 36, paragraph 2-terdecies), on the basis of which Consob can order internet service providers to block access from Italy to websites offering financial services without the proper authorization.
Below are the sites Consob has ordered to be blacked out:
- Bright Group Llc (website https://allfinagroup.pro and its page https://fingroup.click page);
- BrokerCreditServiceLtd.net (website www.brokercreditserviceltd.net and its page https://account.brokercreditserviceltd.net);
- Unico Aust Pty Ltd (website www.unicofx.co and its page https://account.unicofx.co);
- Cms Ltd (website https://cmstrategy.io and its pages https://client.cmstrategy.io and https://webtrader.cmstrategy.io);
- Olympusbrokers Ltd (website www.olympusbrokers.io).
The number of sites blacked out since July 2019, when Consob got the power to order that the websites of fraudulent financial intermediaries be blacked out, has thus risen to 825.
The measures adopted by Consob can be consulted on the website www.consob.it.
The black-out of these websites by internet service providers operating on Italian territory is ongoing. For technical reasons, it can take several days for the black-out to come into effect.
Consob draws investors' attention to the importance of adopting the greatest diligence in order to make informed investment choices, adopting common sense behaviours, essential to safeguard one's savings: these include, for websites that offer financial services, checking in advance that the operator with whom you are investing is authorised, and, for offers of financial products, that a prospectus has been published.
To this end, Consob would remind you that there is a section on the homepage of its website www.consob.it entitled "Watch for scams!", providing useful information to warn investors against financially abusive initiatives.
***
Consob has also forbidden the offering to the public resident in Italy of financial products represented by the "Investment Plans" called "Plan A", "Plan B", "Plan C", "Plan D", "Diamond Plan", "Silver Package" and "Gold Package" made by "Coin Earners Ltd" including through the https://coinearnersltd.com website (resolution no. 22573 of 1 February 2023). The activity had been suspended, for a period of 90 days, by resolution no. 22496 of 3 November 2022.
* * *
Consob has ordered the same subjects to cease the violation of Article 18 of Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, pursuant to article 7-octies, letter b) of the same legislative decree:
- Bright Group Llc via the website https://allfinagroup.pro and its page https://fingroup.click (resolution no. 22580 of 1 February 2023);

Reported by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) – France:
The AMF warns savers that there is an active campaign involving fraudulent calls by people claiming to work for the AMF and offering to help victims of scam investments to recover their funds. The AMF wishes to emphasise that it is not the Authority's business to recover or return funds lost by investors and that it never asks consumers for money.
In recent weeks, retail investors who had been victims of an investment scam have reported to the AMF that they received phone calls from individuals claiming to be "AMF investigators" or "AMF anti-fraud officers" who could help them recover lost money. The phone number displayed appeared to be that of the AMF switchboard. Several reports of victims of crypto-asset investment scams said they were then called by an "engineer" who was supposed to provide technical assistance in recovering their crypto-assets "directly on the Blockchain."
The AMF calls for the utmost attention to be paid to such calls. It is technically easy to falsify the caller ID information displayed during a call. This technique is known as "phone spoofing" and is also often used by scammers posing as bank advisors. The goal is always to extort money from the victims.
This fraudulent practice is similar to "recovery room fraud", which involves impersonating authorities, supervisors or government bodies, and is one of the "follow-up scam" techniques observed in many countries (Belgium, Cyprus, United Kingdom, United States, etc.).
Identity theft from public institutions or authorities has been on the rise for the past three years. These imitations can take various forms: fake emails or websites where the domain name has a single modified letter, fake mail with fake logos or stamps, impersonation of real employees, phone calls from numbers that look authentic, etc.
The AMF reminds investors that it never contacts investors on its own initiative to recover funds lost in a fraudulent investment or to offer them compensation. It doesn't have the legal authority to do that. In the event of fraud, only the courts have the power to intervene. Cases involving fraud cannot benefit from AMF mediation, which is a completely free service for resolving disputes between retail investors and their financial intermediaries. Such cases are referred to the public prosecutor.
The AMF will continue to act to stop and sanction these fraudulent activities.
The AMF urges anyone who receives these fraudulent calls to report them using the form on its website in the "Amf Epargne Info Service" section.

The British Virgin Islands Supervisory Authority advises savers that on 14 March 2018, the company Eridge Capital Limited was transferred to the British Virgin Islands as a trading company, having previously been registered in Jersey as New World Oil & Gas Plc. (https://www.jerseyfsc.org/news-and-events/new-world-oil-gas-plc/). The entity has never been authorised or regulated by the FSC to carry out investment or financial services activities in the territory of the British Virgin Islands.
The Bvifsc also warns savers that a false commercial investment licence bearing the name National Bank Of The British Vergin Islands is being circulated by fraudulently using the name of National Bank of The Virgin Islands Limited, which is an authorised and regulated
bank. The entity posing as the authorised bank uses the URL of a fraudulent website (www.nabbvi.com) to advertise and solicit customers to activate banking, transaction, payment and investment services.

Titancfd (www.titancfd-fx.com, page https://platform.titancfd-fx.com) - Ecc Corp Llc (https://eccapitals.com, pages https://ec-capitals.com, https://webtrader.eccapitals.com) - SevenCapital24 (https://sevencapital24.com) - Eudaimon Consulting Llc (https://stellarfx.co) - Win Traders (https://win-traders.com, page https://client.win-traders.com) - Uefa Football Fund Ltd (https://uefa2017.com, page https://www.2016uefa.com) - British Trade Limited (www.britishtradeltd.com)
Consob has ordered the black-out of 5 new websites that offer financial services illegally.
The commission availed itself of the new powers resulting from the 'Decreto Crescita' ('Growth Decree'; Law no. 58 of 28 June 2019, article 36, paragraph 2-terdecies), on the basis of which Consob can order internet service providers to block access from Italy to websites offering financial services without the proper authorization.
Below are the sites Consob has ordered to be blacked out:
- Titancfd (website www.titancfd-fx.com and its pagehttps://platform.titancfd-fx.com).
- Ecc Corp Llc(website https://eccapitals.com and its pages https://ec-capitals.com and https://webtrader.eccapitals.com);
- SevenCapital24 (website https://sevencapital24.com);
- Eudaimon Consulting Llc (website https://stellarfx.co);
- Win Traders (website https://win-traders.com and its page https://client.win-traders.com).
The number of sites blacked out since July 2019, when Consob got the power to order the black-out of websites of fraudulent financial intermediaries, has thus risen to 820.
The measures adopted by Consob can be consulted on the website www.consob.it.
The black-out of these websites by internet service providers operating on Italian territory is ongoing. For technical reasons, it can take several days for the black-out to come into effect.
Consob draws investors' attention to the importance of adopting the greatest diligence in order to make informed investment choices, adopting common sense behaviours, essential to safeguard one's savings: these include, for websites that offer financial services, checking in advance that the operator with whom you are investing is authorised, and, for offers of financial products, that a prospectus has been published.
To this end, Consob would remind you that there is a section on the homepage of its website www.consob.it entitled "Watch for scams!", providing useful information to warn investors against financially abusive initiatives.
* * *
Consob has also prohibited, pursuant to Article 99, paragraph 1, letter c) of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the offer to the Italian public of financial products relating to "investment plans" using the name "UEFA Football Hedge Fund" made by Uefa Football Fund Ltd including via the website https://uefa2017.com and its page https://www.2016uefa.com (Resolution No. 22556 of 11 January 2023); the offer had already been suspended for a period of 90 days with Resolution No. 22476 of 11 October 2022.

The New Zealand Supervisory Authority informs savers that the investment offer called "Renewable Energy Bond Investing" may be a scam aimed at residents of New Zealand. The prospectus states that it was issued by Macquarie Asset Management and presents the logo and name of the CEO. Macquarie Asset Management has confirmed that the company is totally unrelated to the offer. The prospectus also states that the investment is "authorised and regulated by the FMA", which is false.
The FMA recommends that due diligence and caution be exercised before making any investment.
The FMA also alerts savers that the company Krypto Security (email address: financialmarketsauthority@gmail.com) contacts the public claiming to be able to help New Zealand residents recover stolen cryptocurrencies. Various high fees are charged in the recovery process, including a payment made through the use of a barcode stating that this is necessary to comply with New Zealand anti-money laundering legislation. The New Zealand Supervisory Authority warns that this control system does not exist in New Zealand.
It is also noted that New Zealand residents have received emails from a person posing as an FMA employee, the sender's email address is financialmarketsauthority@gmail.com.
The email domain used by government agencies in New Zealand ends with the extension govt.nz.
The FMA recommends acting with caution when dealing with entities or individuals that offer assistance in recovering any investments or money lost.

The French Supervisory Authority, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), warns the public of savers against certain platforms offering real estate investments. An increasing number of platforms offer retail investors, often very young, the opportunity to build a real estate asset and/or earn rental income by participating in online fundraisers to finance the acquisition of assets, particularly real estate.
These funding operations allow companies to buy buildings. These companies promise to pay the investor a part of the income generated by the rental of the property, and in some cases the payment of a portion of the capital gain on the sale of the property calculated in proportion to the funds paid. All of these revenues are also called royalties. This activity corresponds to loan activities that take place through future income sharing. Although marketing proposals often highlight an investment in real estate, investors do not become property owners in any way. Investors are simply creditors of a company set up specifically for this purpose, often poorly capitalized. They have contributed their money to this company to buy a building of which the company is the sole owner.
As a result, investors bear a variety of risks. In addition to the risks usually associated with a real estate investment (for example, income may vary depending on changes in rents, vacant leases, the insolvency of tenants or a loss when the property is resold), investors also bear a risk related to their status as creditors of the company that owns the property.
This puts them at an additional risk of losing all the capital they have invested. The proposed financial yields are always overly optimistic or even unrealistic.
The AMF also notes that some platforms do not comply with the regulations in force, which aim to protect investors through the quality of the information provided, claims management or access to the AMF Ombudsman.
The Amf therefore calls on investors to be extremely vigilant with proposals for investment in loan activities based on the sharing of future incomes, often referred to as royalties.

Reported by the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) – Belgium:
The Belgian Supervisory Authority, FSMA, warns investors against "Validus", a platform located abroad that sells training in Belgium aimed at teaching people to trade complex financial instruments such as forex derivatives.
Anyone who subscribes to such training has access to educational videos, webinars and live chat sessions with all kinds of information about how the forex market works. It explains what forex derivatives are, how exactly they can be traded, what kind of orders can be placed and what software can be downloaded for this purpose. The message conveyed is that forex trading offers opportunities as long as it has been studied thoroughly and you have a full understanding of how it works
Apart from the fact that the FSMA has doubts about the quality of these training courses, a number of other problems arise.
Firstly, the FSMA would like to point out that the distribution of derivatives traded on an electronic trading system and involving leverage (including some forex instruments) is prohibited in Belgium.
Secondly, such educational materials are often distributed by way of a pyramid structure. In general, these are referred to as "MLM" (multi-level marketing) strategies, in which consumers are encouraged to bring in new members. In return, they receive a consideration in the form of a commission or discount on the price of the training.
These MLM networks seem to be active on social media through countless (private) groups. It seems that these programmes are mainly aimed at young people. The message is that everyone can afford a luxurious lifestyle as long as they bring in a sufficient number of new members and make an adequate investment in the training offered.
