Cypriot supervision warns of 5 investment scams
Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, CySEC, announced the addition of 5 new sites to the list of warnings. Among them are primarily "brokers" who do not have the required licenses and permits, but also a clone of a legally operating entity - HYCM Capital Markets – before which British regulator FCA has also recently warned. Stay alert!
Beware Forex Scammers!
The websites listed below offer the opportunity to invest in currencies, stocks, cryptocurrencies, commodities, as well as in IPOs (stock exchange debuts). However, everything indicates that these are "typical scams" that are only intended to extort funds from unwitting investors. None of the following entities is licensed to provide investment services and/or conduct investment activities, in accordance with Art. 5 of Law 87 (I)/2017.

Deliberate misleading using false license numbers or using data of legally operating companies, offering trading via popular platforms (such as MetaTrader 4), or offering very favorable trading conditions on popular instruments.

Verify the broker before opening an account!
Cypriot supervision reminds that before starting cooperation with investment firms, the best way to verify the legality of their activity is to check the licenses and permits on the websites of regulators. In the case of CySEC, this can be done on the website www.cysec.gov.cy. However, you need to be vigilant also here - the Cypriot regulator warns against fraudsters who pretended to be ... CySEC. The scam page was a very credible copy of the regulator's website, but it had a different address (cysecgov.com), and the information contained therein was out of date (the latest news came from October 2020).
