The warning about LevelProfit
The financial regulator that has warned the public about LevelProfit is Consob, see the full alert HERE. Also the CySEC in Cyprus published a warning.
The Consob had this to say about LevelProfit: The broker is not authorized to provide financial services in Italy but it is doing so. It is an unauthorized investment service.
AFI’s commentary: Level Profit claims to be regulated in the UK by the FCA. But it is not. It is lying about this fact, therefore it is a scam. It is not regulated in Cyprus either. In fact, it has stolen the license number of another company.
Why this warning is important
Financial regulation is key to maintaining orderly markets. Every country has at least one independent regulator that oversees financial markets to ensure that customers of investment services are protected.
No regulation is perfect, but it provides at least basic protection to consumers. In the investment world, regulation often ensures that clients’ funds are segregated from the money of the company, that there is transparent pricing of traded assets, that the company is not in conflict of interests, etc.
Simply put, there are rules that investment companies have to follow and regulators make sure that they follow them.
In some countries, deposits with investment companies are even insured. This means that if the company, for example, a broker, goes bankrupt, clients still get their money back from an insurance fund.
For all the reasons mentioned above the risks with regulated companies are far smaller than with the ones that are not regulated. There are many, many more scams among unlicensed and unauthorized investment services.
Therefore, to stay on the safer side, it is always better to trade and invest only with regulated companies. Only with platforms that are licensed by regulators to provide the services they are offering.
You should educate yourself about financial regulation in your country and use only investment and other financial services that are authorized in your country by relevant authorities.
Is LevelProfit a scam?
LevelProfit being blacklisted by a financial regulator, namely by the Consob, does not necessarily mean that it is a scam. Unless it is explicitly said in the alert. Although our research clearly shows that it is a scam.
But it is important to know that every time there is a reason for a company to be placed on a warning list by a financial authority.
There must have been an impulse for the regulator to investigate LevelProfit and conclude that the public must be warned about it. Like complaints from users or suspicion, for example. Most often it’s testimonials from users who have bad experience with the service and have to complain.
Some investment projects just overlook their duties as far as financial and investment laws are concerned, some are outright scams that just avoid regulation.
In this review, we report on the alert that the Consob published about LevelProfit. So for a conclusion about whether it is a scam or not you can contact directly this financial authority.
They should be able to explain with more details why they published the warning. For example, if it was initiated by bad user experience or something else.
In our experience, to stay safe, it is better to avoid all companies and investment services that have been blacklisted by financial regulators.
You can also contact the national financial authority in your country and ask it about LevelProfit to see what they have to say.
In conclusion about LevelProfit
LevelProfit has been the subject of a warning from the Consob, which is a financial regulator. So there is a problem with it, and that is why you’d better stay away from it.
If you have doubts about LevelProfit, just ask a licensed investment advisor and/or the national financial authority in your country to get a professional opinion.
