National Commission for Companies and the Stock Exchange

Consob ordered the blackout of 5 new websites which are offering financial services illegally. The commission availed itself of the new powers resulting from the "Decreto Crescita" ("Growth Decree"; Law no. 58 of 28 June 2019, article 36, paragraph 2-terdecies), on the basis of which Consob can order internet service providers to block access from Italy to websites offering financial services without the proper authorization. Below are the sites Consob has ordered to be blacked out: - Bright Group Llc (website https://allfinagroup.pro and its page https://fingroup.click page); - BrokerCreditServiceLtd.net (website www.brokercreditserviceltd.net and its page https://account.brokercreditserviceltd.net); - Unico Aust Pty Ltd (website www.unicofx.co and its page https://account.unicofx.co); - Cms Ltd (website https://cmstrategy.io and its pages https://client.cmstrategy.io and https://webtrader.cmstrategy.io); - Olympusbrokers Ltd (website www.olympusbrokers.io). 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 825. 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. To this end, Consob would remind you that there is a section on the homepage of its website www.consob.it entitled "Watch for scams!", providing useful information to warn investors against financially abusive initiatives. Consob has also forbidden the offering to the public resident in Italy of financial products represented by the "Investment Plans" called "Plan A", "Plan B", "Plan C", "Plan D", "Diamond Plan", "Silver Package" and "Gold Package" made by "Coin Earners Ltd" including through the https://coinearnersltd.com website (resolution no. 22573 of 1 February 2023). The activity had been suspended, for a period of 90 days, by resolution no. 22496 of 3 November 2022. Consob has ordered the same subjects to cease the violation of Article 18 of Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, pursuant to article 7-octies, letter b) of the same legislative decree: - Bright Group Llc via the website https://allfinagroup.pro and its page https://fingroup.click (resolution no. 22580 of 1 February 2023); - BrokerCreditServiceLtd.net via the website www.brokercreditserviceltd.net and its page https://account.brokercreditserviceltd.net (resolution no. 22576 of 1 February 2023); - Unico Aust Pty Ltd via the website www.unicofx.co and its page https://account.unicofx.co (resolution no. 22577 of 1 February 2023); - Cms Ltd via the website https://cmstrategy.io and its pages https://client.cmstrategy.io and https://webtrader.cmstrategy.io (resolution no. 22578 of 1 February 2023); - Olympusbrokers Ltd via the website www.olympusbrokers.io (resolution no. 22579 of 1 February 2023).
