As usual, the Spanish regulator CNMV issued its new warnings on Monday. This time against 12 websites that offer regulated financial products without permission. Some of the warned scams like BenefFX or Cento GX we know and have issued warnings in the past. We will take a closer look at the other warned providers and bring detailed reports soon. It is always interesting for our research team to compare the regulators' findings with ours. Below is the list of new warnings.

In our morning roundup today, we discovered that the Bitcoin Trader (www.bitcointrader.site) fraud marketing campaign is hunting potential victims for the BenefFX (www.beneffx.com) broker scam today. The operator of the scam, who bills itself as "being beneficial" is Optium Ltd, registered in the Marshall Islands, and the payment agent is Bulgarian Key Solutions Ltd. We issued an investor warning back in November 2021. Stay far away and save yourself losses and mental issues.

The fraudulent Bitcoin Up marketing campaign today promotes the BenefFX broker scam. After registering with Bitcoin Up, prospective victims are redirected to BenefFX's cashier page. There, victims can lose their money via credit and debit cards as well as PayRetailers and AcePay. The scam is allegedly operated by the offshore entity Optium Ltd, registered in the Marshall Islands. Key Solutions Ltd in Bulgaria is stated as the payment processor. BenefFX attacks victims in English, German, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, and Arabic.
