In early Jan 2022, the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) issued a warning against the TradingBloom broker scam. The fake company Bloomb Trading Facility B.V. is stated on the website as the operator, acting as a clone of the AFM-licensed Bloomberg Trading Facility B.V. Other regulators such as the Italian Consob or the Belgian FSMA re-published the warning. Recently, the Spanish CNMV has issued a warning. A few hours ago, the German BaFin finally issued a warning. Too late!
On 21 March 2022, the Spanish regulator CNMV issued warnings against 12 illegally operating financial websites; most of them are illegally operating brokers or broker scams. Some of the websites against which warnings were issued have already disappeared. We will take a closer look at the individual warnings in the next few days and report back. Stay away from these schemes to protect your money and your mental health. Below is the list of new CNMV warnings.
