Consob has ordered the blackout of 4 new websites that illegally offer financial services/financial products, and in particular 3 sites through which an offer of financial products is made in the absence of a prospectus and 1 site through which the advertising activity relating to one of the three aforementioned offers is carried out.

The Authority has made use of the new power introduced by Law no. 8 of 28 February 2020 (Article 4, paragraph 3-bis), regarding the blackout of sites through which abusive offers and advertising are carried out.

Below are the sites Consob has ordered to be blacked out:

• Ganancias Deportivas (website https://gananciasdeportivas.net);
• Mindcapital Oü (website https://mind.capital);
• Vivaexchange Oü (website www.exw-wallet.com);
• IS-R InternetServices-Reinders (website https://www.bonus-wallet.com/exw-wallet-app-tokenreview/italiano).

The number of sites blacked out since July 2019, when Consob got the power to order that the websites of fraudulent financial intermediaries be blacked out, has thus risen to 261.

The measures adopted by Consob can be consulted on the website www.consob.it.

The black-out of these websites by internet service providers operating on Italian territory is ongoing. For technical reasons, it can take several days for the black-out to come into effect.

Consob draws investors’ attention to the importance of adopting the greatest diligence in order to make informed investment choices, adopting common sense behaviours, essential to safeguard their savings: these include, for websites that offer financial services, checking in advance that the operator with whom they are investing is authorised, and, for offers of financial products, that a prospectus has been published.

To this end, Consob would remind you that on the website www.consob.it there is a section on the homepage “Be aware of fraud!”, providing useful information to warn investors against financially abusive initiatives.
