In May 2021, German BaFin issued a Cease and Desist Order against EZ2GO Ltd, registered in the Commonwealth of Dominica (report here). It operated the broker scam CapitalFX. On 26 Sept 2022, BaFin announced investigations against the broker scams Europemarket.io and Economix.io. In Oct 2022, the Spanish CNMV also issued a warning. Last week, the Italian Consob warned against the scam. However, the broker is still active. Stay far away!

On 26 Sept 2022, BaFin announced investigations against the broker scams Europemarket.io and Economix.io operated by Archax Ltd in Sweden. Bullshit, of course. They are evidently part of the same scam network. BaFin clarifies they are not connected to the FCA-registered crypto & digital assets provider Archax Ltd.
The German BaFin has issued another Cease and Desist Order against EZ2GO Ltd this week. The company, registered in the Commonwealth of Dominica, was registered as the operator of the CapitalFX broker scam. The scam is active with the domains www.capitalfx.co and www.capital-fx.info. Also named as an operator is Aegion Group Ltd, registered in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. As payment processors, we have discovered PayNetEasy and PayCent behind the BoxiPay cashier (PayBox).
Like every Monday, the Italian regulator Consob today announced the blackout of five new websites of illegally operating providers of financial services. This makes the Italian financial market supervisory authority the only EU regulator to take this effective measure. For consumer protection in the EU, it would be desirable if more member states would create a legal basis for blocking illegal or fraudulent websites. Forza Italia!
