Consob has ordered the blackout of 6 new websites that abusively offer financial services/financial products: 5 abusive financial intermediation sites and 1 site through which financial products are offered without a prospectus.

The Authority availed itself of the powers deriving from the "Decreto Crescita" (Growth Decree - Law no. 58 of 28 June 2019, Article 36, paragraph 2-terdecies) regarding the blackout of the websites of abusive financial intermediaries, as well as the power introduced by Law no. 8 of 28 February 2020, Article 4, paragraph 3-bis, regarding the blackout of the website through which the abusive offer is made.

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

- Marketsac (website https://marketsac.ltd and its page https://platform.marketsac-tp.ltd);

- FCapital24 (website https://fcapital24.de);

Fx Future Trading (www.fxfuturetrading.com website and its https://account.fxfuturetrading.com and https://webtrader.chartcandl.com pages).

. UfinaCapital (website https://ufinacapital.cc);

- Mercantiles (website www.mercantiles.org);

- Optimal Yield Limited (website www.optimalyieldltds.com).

The number of sites blacked out since July 2019, when Consob was given the power to order the black-out of websites of fraudulent financial intermediaries, has thus risen to 1019.

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 one's savings: these include, for websites that offer financial services, checking in advance that the operator with whom you are investing is authorised, and, for offers of financial products, that a prospectus has been published.

Please note, there is a section on the homepage of the www.consob.it website, entitled "Watch for Scams!", which provides useful information warning investors about fraudulent financial schemes.
