How this warning fits the pattern
L88159 is the 84th of 161 entities that CONSOB has reported to ESMA as non-compliant since 12 February 2025, out of 170 in the whole EU list. The decision came in a batch: 12 warnings from the same regulator carry a date in December 2025. A single web address is named; unlicensed platforms frequently reappear under new domains, so a different address using the same name deserves the same caution.
If you have dealt with L88159
Do not send any further funds, including "fees", "taxes" or "unlocking deposits" requested to release a withdrawal — that request is the usual second stage of the same scheme. Keep every record: screenshots, transaction hashes, bank transfers, chat logs. Report the case to Commissione Nazionale per le Societa e la Borsa (CONSOB) and to your local police; if you paid by card or bank transfer, ask your bank about a chargeback or recall immediately.
Operations like this one often resurface under a new name and domain within weeks. If you meet a similar site, check its domain against the register before trusting it, and compare with the authorised providers — a genuine licence is always verifiable by legal name and LEI.
