The Italian regulator Consob ordered the black-out of five illegal financial websites increasing the total number of black-out orders to 708. Against two of the scams, the Consob ordered to be blacked out FinTelegram has already issued warnings – Tetris Group and FinoMarkets. Both of them have been around for years already and received warnings from different financial market regulators! It would be desirable if other regulators were also empowered by their parliament to block access to illegal websites.
Below are the sites Consob has ordered to be blacked out:
- Bitaroma with website www.bitaroma.net;
- FinoMarkets with website https://finomarkets.info;
- Eta Ltd with website www.etalimited.io;
- Invest Union Ltd and UBSblockchains with website www.investunionltd.com.
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 708.
