Only the sky is the limit when scammers and their facilitators play with brands, domains, and marketing campaigns. This afternoon we received an email in our spam folder promising us high profits within a few hours. The link in the email leads us to the Bitcoin Gemini (www.bitcoin-gemini.top) and Bitcoin Era scam campaigns on the myFinancemMonday website (https://myfinancemmonday.com/bitcoin-era-7). Upon registering, we are led to the broker scam Cryptoneteasy (www.cryptneteasy.com), among others.
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!
