The AMF is warning the public against several entities proposing atypical investments without being authorised to do so

Here is the list of the new websites recently identified in the atypical investments category: 

• efg-top112.com
• event-topmedia017.com/conteneurs/
• financieremcm.com
• financiereplh.com
• fondsfiables.fr/invor
• www.monplantfraise.fr
• sirano-gestion.com

Any offer to invest in miscellaneous assets must be registered with the AMF to be marketed. The white list of offers recorded in miscellaneous assets is available on the AMF website.

Since January 1, 2024, the AMF has added 14 names to its list of sites not authorized to offer atypical investments, including 6 in “gold” category and 4 in the category “wine”. In addition, two new categories of investment in miscellaneous assets were created this year. These are the “green investments” and “food products” categories.

Since the creation, in 2017, of this black list, which identified websites that were illegally offering atypical investments, the AMF has added more than 412 unauthorised internet addresses which initially focuses on gold, was later extended to livestock, wines or champagne.

The list of all sites not authorized to offer investments in various goods is available on the AMF website (section: Retail Investors →  Warnings → Blacklists) and on the Assurance Banque Épargne Info Service - ABEIS website (section: Prévention arnaques → Listes noires et alertes des autorités).

Please note that this list is updated regularly but does not claim to be exhaustive, as new unauthorized actors appear regularly. In addition, the registration decisions issued by the AMF can be consulted on the AMF website.
