Abstract:The Cypriot regulator warned people today not to do business on unregulated internet trading platforms, especially when it comes to CFDs, cryptocurrencies, and FX trading.
The Cypriot government found a lot of unlicensed service providers. Their domains have been put on a blacklist because they let people trade online without being allowed to do so in the country.
CySEC also sounded the alarm when it found scams that used the trademarks of real FX brokers without their permission. One Capital Invest and Robotics Forex seem to be another example of a scam in which an unauthorized company uses the name of a legal company without permission to trick traders into thinking it is a real business.
The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission said that some of these illegal brokers were just new versions of companies that had already shut down, while others lied and said they were connected to other brokers who are currently regulated in Cyprus and have the CIF License. The following domains have been banned by the watchdog:
www.rcebanque.com
www.winnexconsulting.com
www.roboticsforex.com
www.goldenburgfunds.com
www.onecapitalinvest.co
CySEC says very clearly that these businesses do not have a license to do brokerage business in Cyprus and are not part of a regulated group.
Also, it tells customers that the Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) won't help them if they lose money on an unlicensed site. This protects the claims of insured customers and pays them if a member can't meet their financial obligations.
Even though many companies say they are based in Cyprus, CySEC said it used to think they were based elsewhere and gave them fake addresses. If companies were really based in the country, CySEC would consider taking more action. It goes on to say that the operators of the platforms are often hard to find on their websites and that the places they say are their headquarters are often “letterbox” addresses in other countries.
Under existing legislation, CySEC has no authority to compel internet service providers to deny financial ads or limit access to their domains. It may only request that they remove false promotions after they have been identified. So, people who try to scam people or sell high-risk schemes can now post ads saying they are from or licensed in Cyprus.
