Blacklists and alerts from the authorities Faced with the resurgence of financial scams on the internet and in particular on social networks or by telephone, be careful! Systematically check that the person or company contacting you is authorized to offer this product in France by carefully consulting the official registers. Be particularly vigilant against the risk of identity theft. Scammers use official data from authorized professionals to deceive public trust. Consult the ACPR and AMF blacklists and alerts. Please note that these lists cannot be exhaustive. The ACPR and the AMF publish and regularly update five blacklists of sites or entities not authorized to offer in France: loans, savings accounts, payment services or insurance contracts; investments in Forex (exchange market); crypto-asset derivatives; binary options; investments in various assets (diamonds, wine, crypto-assets, etc.). They also identify sites or entities usurping in particular the identity of duly authorized professionals and publish other types of alerts intended for the public. The authorities invite you not to respond to requests from these sites or entities. Attention ! These lists cannot be exhaustive. New players appear regularly and sites can evolve very quickly. If the name of an entity or site does not appear on the lists, this does not mean that it is authorized to offer banking products or services, insurance contracts or financial products in France.
