Actually, all EU states and their regulators should do this! The EU rules on consumer protection stipulate that the respective competent authorities must take the necessary measures to protect their citizens from Internet fraud. One of these measures is the blocking of fraudulent websites. Currently, only the Italian regulator Consob does this, based on a "Growth Decree" law from June 2019 empowering the regulator to block access to websites offering financial services without the proper authorization. On the first day after Easter, Consob blocked another six broker scams.
Every single day we receive reports about new scams from whistleblowers and victims. Much appreciated it is! For us, this is an indication that investors are becoming more alert. That's excellent news. However, regulators and law enforcement are taking longer to do so. But that's exactly why FinTelegram exists. An insider informed us that there is a new broker scam active with NAB Consulting. We took a look at the scam and found Israeli-Russian PaynetEasy as the facilitating payment processor.
