Finaria Group SA / finariagroup.com

I invested $500 with Finaria Group SA / finariagroup.com after seeing their professional-looking website. At first, everything seemed fine - they showed me impressive returns on my dashboard. But when I tried to withdraw, they kept making excuses. First it was "processing time," then "verification needed," then "you need to pay a tax fee first." I never got my money back. I have since reported them to Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority.

I found this company through a friend who recommended it. Before investing, I checked various regulatory databases and found that Finaria Group SA / finariagroup.com has been flagged as an unauthorized entity. I informed my friend immediately. Please always verify with official sources - a quick search could save you thousands.

After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that Finaria Group SA / finariagroup.com is not authorized by any legitimate financial regulator. They are operating illegally. The website looks very professional but it's all a facade. Please check the regulatory warnings database before investing with ANY company.

This company appears on the IOSCO I-SCAN international warnings list. Over 68 financial regulators worldwide contribute to this database. While being listed doesn't automatically mean fraud, it's a significant red flag that potential investors should take seriously. Do your research thoroughly.
