CySEC warns public against dealing with three unauthorized investment firms
The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) today issued a warning advising the public against dealing with three unauthorized investment firms.
The websites of the unauthorized entities are:
- obsidian-group.org
- ext-ltd.com
- harindale.trade
The regulator noted that the above-mentioned websites do not belong to an entity which has been granted an authorization for the provision of investment services and/or the performance of investment activities, as provided for in Article 5 of Law 87 (I)/2017.
CySEC advises 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.
Earlier this week, CySEC warned the public against dealing with five unauthorized investment firms.
