CONSOB Blocks Access to Unauthorized Investment Websites

In a bold step to protect Italian citizens' financial interests, Italy's Companies and Exchange Commission, often known as CONSOB, has issued final orders to prohibit access to four recently discovered unlicensed investing websites. These regulatory measures are part of a larger effort to safeguard investors against potentially fraudulent schemes and deceptive Internet financial operations.

The websites targeted by CONSOB's recent instructions, along with their accompanying connected pages, are listed below:

- Eurotrade Forex - Visit https://eurotradeforex.net and https://client.eurotradeforex.net.

- Bithebanx.pro is available at www.bithebanx.pro, https://webtrader.bithebanx.pro, and https://mobtrader.bithebanx.pro.

- Billionaire Trade Ltd - See https://billionaire-trade.com, https://panel.billionaire-trade.co.com, and https://trading.billionaire-trade.co.com.

- Alfacapitalmarketsltd - Websites: https://alfacapitalmarketsltd.net and https://account.alfacapitalmarketsltd.net.

CONSOB's legal power to make these instructions is based on the “Decreto crescita” (“Growth Decree”), especially Law No. 58 of June 28, 2019, Article No. 36, paragraph 2-tendencies. This important law gives CONSOB the authority to require Internet service providers to prohibit access to illegal investment websites that specifically target Italian nationals.

With the addition of these additional domains, the total number of blacklisted websites since July 2019 has risen to a staggering 1008. It is worth mentioning that CONSOB took significant action only last week, ordering the restriction of access to the Alphascrypto, Blackridge Capital Management, and Fast-MNG websites.

While the regulatory directives have been issued, it is important to note that Internet service providers are still working to implement these website restrictions. Because of technical complications, the complete application of these limitations may take several days.

CONSOB is unwavering in its commitment to defending Italian individuals' interests and the integrity of the financial industry. These preemptive actions are part of a larger campaign to reduce the activities of fraudulent financial intermediaries operating online, ensuring investors a safer financial environment.
