Recently, there have been frequent incidents of investors being scammed in European financial markets, seriously threatening the security of funds. ESMA urges investors to raise their awareness of fraud and strengthen their ability to protect themselves.
In the face of a complex market environment, investors need to remain vigilant, learn to recognize fraudulent schemes, and avoid losses caused by misplaced trust. Enhancing fraud awareness is the first step in protecting investment security.
To prevent risks, ESMA reminds investors to verify whether trading platforms comply with the regulatory requirements of their country when making a selection. Legitimate platforms must be authorized by regulatory bodies and adhere to strict standards. Investors can check platform credentials through the official websites of regulatory agencies to ensure fund safety. Choosing compliant platforms is key to reducing risks.
ESMA has noted that some platforms, such as Gemway Value, Flossbach von Storch, and the U.S. platform Noventra Finance, do not meet regulatory requirements. Several investors have already filed complaints, and we are actively investigating. Investors should exercise caution.
In summary, ESMA urges investors to enhance their fraud awareness, prioritize selecting platforms under proper regulation, invest prudently, protect their rights, and stay away from fraud risks.
