In its statement, CONSOB emphasized the importance of working with authorized and regulated firms when it comes to investing and trading. The regulator urged investors to check the authorization status of any firm before doing business with them.

CONSOB also urged investors to report any suspicious or fraudulent activities to the regulator, noting that it relies on the cooperation of the public to identify and prosecute financial crimes.

The warning from CONSOB is a reminder of the importance of working with legitimate and authorized firms when it comes to investing and trading. Investors should always do their due diligence and research a company before doing business with them and should report any suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities.
