PRESS RELEASE
Consob has ordered the blocking of 8 new websites that offered investment services without authorization.
Below are the websites that Consob has ordered to be blocked:
- "Alantracfd" (website https://alantra-cfd.com and related pages https://web.alantra-cfd.com and https://client.alantra-cfd.com);
- "Investenix" (website https://investenix.com and related page https://dashboard.investenixpro.com);

- "EUROAMFIN" (website https://euroamfin.com and related page https://client.euroamfin.com);
- VT Markets Limited (website www.vtmarkets-it.com and related page https://myaccount.vtmarkets-it.com);
- Amius Group Ltd (website https://amiusgroupltd.com and related page https://client.amiusgroupltd.com);
- "Naviark" (websites www.naviarkpmk.com and www.narvac.com);
This brings the total number of websites blocked by Consob since July 2019, when the Authority was granted the power to order the blocking of websites operated by abusive financial intermediaries, to 1,570.
The Authority has exercised the powers conferred on it by the "Decreto Crescita" (‘Growth Decree', Law No. 58 of 28 June 2019, Article No. 36, paragraph 2-terdecies) to block the websites of abusive financial intermediaries.
The measures adopted by Consob are available on the website www.consob.it Internet connectivity providers operating in Italy are currently working to block access to the websites. For technical reasons, it may take a few days for the blocking to take effect.
It is important that savers exercise the utmost diligence in making fully informed investment choices, adopting common sense behaviors that are essential for safeguarding their savings: these include checking in advance, for websites offering investment and crypto-asset services, that the operator through which you are investing is authorized and, for financial and crypto-asset product offerings, that the prospectus or white paper has been published.
Consob also draws attention to the evolution of deceptive practices that exploit the internet to steal users' money and personal data: there has been an increase in the use of new tools, such as emails and "cloned" websites, fake profiles of politicians and celebrities, and content generated using artificial intelligence systems—such as images, voices, or videos—with the aim of inducing savers to make harmful investment choices.
To this end, Consob invites savers to read the specific information sheet containing advice on how to protect themselves from financial fraud in the age of artificial intelligence and reminds them that its website has a section entitled 'Watch for scams!', which provides useful information to warn investors against abusive financial initiatives.
