Spanish CNMV has apparently been working intensively over the past week. At least in the department responsible for issuing investor warnings against scams and illegal activities in the cyberfinance segment. On October 25, the CNMV issued warnings against more than a dozen illegal websites and their operators. Some of them, like CentoGX or FXQuote247, are already known to Fintelegram readers. We will analyze and report on the rest. Please find the list of the brands the CNMV warned against below.
Sure, scammers launch most likely a few dozen new websites every single day. Thus, closing down five per week doesn't sound too impressive, but it's a start. Like every week, the Italian regulator Consob announced the blackout of five new websites of illegally operating financial services providers. Consob is the only EU regulator to take this effective measure. It would be desirable if more member states would create a legal basis for blocking illegal or fraudulent websites. Forza Italia!
