Italys Companies and Exchange Commission (CONSOB) today announces that it has ordered the blocking of access to six more websites that offer financial services without having the necessary license to do so.
The list of entities targeted by the latest set of orders includes:
“FinoMarkets” (website www.finomarkets.com);
Sealtd Ltd (website www.sealtd.io and related pages https://trading.sealtd.io and https://secure.sealtd.io);
EurofxFinance Limited (website www.eurofxfinance.com and related page https://client.eurofxfinance.com);
Seabreeze Partners Ltd (website www.profitassist.co);
“Xglobalfin” (website www.xglobalfin.com);
Aga Trading Platform LTD (website https://agatrading.club/ita)
The regulator explains that five of these websites are illegal financial intermediation and one website offers financial products in the absence of a prospectus.
In issuing the orders, the Authority availed itself of the powers deriving from the “Growth Decree” (Law no. 58 of 28 June 2019, Article no. 36, paragraph 2-terdecies), as well as of the power introduced by the Law no. 8 of 28 February 2020 (Article no. 4, paragraph 3-bis).
The number of websites blacked out since July 2019, when Consob got the power to order that the websites of fraudulent financial intermediaries be blacked out, has thus risen to 522. Last week, the regulator issued orders for the blocking of six websites, including those operated by InvestiFX, VestleFX and RT Global.
The black-out of these websites by Internet service providers operating on Italian territory is ongoing. For technical reasons, it can take several days for the blocking to be implemented.

This is the problem an Indian trader reportedly faced on the Oron Trade platform. The Saint Lucia-based forex broker, despite receiving positive reviews for a low minimum deposit and a 5% monthly withdrawable bonus, continued to be criticized by users for its withdrawal processing. In this Oron Limited review, we have thoroughly investigated user claims and revealed whether this brokerage firm is regulated.

TopFX, a Cyprus-based brokerage entity, continues to face user allegations globally, including those in South Asia. While complaints against the firm are on several issues, the one that is very concerning is the alleged account termination following a withdrawal request by traders upon profit generation on the platform. Traders have even opposed deposit delay and operational glitches concerning leverage. In this TopFX review, we have examined wide-ranging allegations against the broker while also sharing its regulatory framework for an informed decision-making experience.

octa, a Cyprus-based brokerage company, continues to face a common question from traders: when will my withdrawal requests be successfully processed? Maybe not literally, but contextually, it is allegedly the issue many traders have reported on broker review platforms such as WikiFX. Regardless of the trader’s region, be it South Asia, Indonesia, Brazil or any other, most traders have expressed their concerns over the alleged withdrawal delays or denials. In this octa review, we have examined several user allegations concerning withdrawal issues and other problems encountered on the platform.

Withdrawal delays are precisely the complaint we keep receiving on WikIFX, a veteran in the forex regulation inquiry space. While some users receive withdrawal access initially and find rejections on their applications later, some fail to receive a single approval. Some delays usually result from genuine compliance requirements that brokers need to adhere to. However, in many cases, traders have accused the broker of repeated excuses as part of its alleged strategy to deny a seamless fund release. A pending withdrawal cannot be an outright indicator of fraudulent activity. Financial institutions, including forex brokerage entities, need to abide by the anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations. However, as the monitoring process stretches beyond weeks or months, traders become frustrated and raise questions over the broker’s reliability.
