CySEC emphasizes that these platforms lack authorization necessary for the provision of investment services as required under current legislation, specifically in line with Article 5 of Law 87 (I)/2017. Using unauthorized investment firms can expose investors to significant risks, including potential fraud or loss of funds, as these entities are not overseen by any regulatory authority.
In light of this warning, it is highly recommended that individuals interested in investment opportunities take proactive measures to verify the legitimacy of any firm they consider dealing with. Investors are encouraged to visit the official CySEC website, where they can find a list of licensed entities authorized to provide investment services and engage in investment activities.
This advisory follows a previous notice from CySEC, which cautioned against an additional 17 unauthorized investment entities. The comprehensive effort to inform the public signifies the regulator’s ongoing commitment to protecting investors and maintaining the integrity of the financial system within Cyprus.
In summary, individuals should remain vigilant and conduct thorough research before falling into the traps of unauthorized investment platforms. Always verify the legitimacy of firms through official resources to ensure that one’s investments are managed by authorized and regulated entities. Staying informed is crucial in a landscape where fraudulent schemes emerge frequently, and proactive measures can help mitigate risks associated with unauthorized investment services.
