CySEC adds six investment websites to warning list
The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) today issued a warning against six websites of unauthorized investment firms.
The websites targeted by the warning are:
- 21stfinance.net
- 21stfinance.com
- 21stfinance.co
- bitbulls-market.com
- financewiseint.com
- eurotradeforex.com
CySEC urges investors to consult its website (www.cysec.gov.cy), before conducting business with investment firms, in order to ascertain the entities which are licensed to provide investment services and/or investment activities.
CySEC regularly updates the list of unauthorized investment firms. In January, the regulator added five entities to the list.
The regulator has also recently warned of new cases of fraudulent impersonation of its website and detected persons fraudulently presenting themselves as CySEC Officers.
The fake websites are:
- cysec-regulatory.com
- www.cysecsupport.online
- www.cysec-support.online
- www.cysecgov.com
- www.cysecs.group
Investors should be particularly vigilant of imposters soliciting fees in exchange for settlement of bogus compensation claims.
