MaxiMarkets is already an old scam and is still not gone. In April 2019, the Spanish regulator CNMV issued a warning, and in August 2020, the Italian regulator Consob had the offshore broker's website blocked for Italian consumers. The Financial Commission has also placed MaxiMarkets on its warning list. However, the scam is still active and targets mainly Russian-speaking victims. We have discovered Ramp and the Irish Apachewell as payment processors.
The Italian regulator CONSOB blacklisted a further seven scam brokers on 3 August 2020. This means that the brokers' websites will soon no longer be accessible for Italian customer victims. At present, the Italian watchdog is the only regulator using this sensible measure. The number of sites blacked out since July 2019 has thus risen to 268.
