The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) has issued a fresh warning against a group of websites offering, or appearing to offer, investment services without authorisation in Cyprus.
In a notice dated 14 August 2026, the regulator said the websites do not belong to entities authorised to provide investment services or perform investment activities under Article 5 of Law 87(I)/2017.
The latest warning names the following websites: m4-platform.com, m4-markets-latam.vercel.app, waltonmarketltd.com, investiumlimited.com, evercrest.capital, gofx.com, tazerpro.com, quantacfd.com, cypriantrustbank.com, and omnixmarkets.com.
Names Resembling Regulated Brands
Some of the names appear to resemble existing or regulated financial brands. For example, CySEC’s own register lists Investium Limited as a licensed CIF with licence number 421/22, but its approved domain is flexinvest.com, not investiumlimited.com.
The regulator’s approved-domain list also includes www.m4markets.eu for Harindale Ltd, the operator of the M4Markets trade name, while the latest warning names m4-platform.com and m4-markets-latam.vercel.app.
CySEC did not provide further details on the operators behind the websites. However, the regulator again urged investors to consult its official website before doing business with any investment firm.
CySEC Urges to Check Investment Firms
The warning follows a familiar pattern from the Cypriot watchdog, which regularly updates investors on websites not connected to authorised entities.
These notices often include trading and investment brands that present themselves as brokers or financial service providers, although they are not listed among firms supervised by the regulator.
Firms operating without authorisation in Cyprus are outside CySEC’s supervisory framework, meaning clients may not have access to the protections available when dealing with licensed investment firms.
CySEC maintains a public register of regulated entities on its website, allowing investors to verify company names, license numbers, approved domains, and contact details before opening an account or transferring money.
