The Malta Financial Services Authority (“MFSA” or “the Authority”) has become aware of a website www.liberosicav.com which falsely claims to be representing Libero International SICAV plc (“the Entity”) which is a regulated entity licensed by the MFSA as an investment firm in terms of the Investment Services Act. This website has also made unauthorised use and reference to company details of the Maltese licensed Entity as well as to the MFSA.

The Authority would like to inform the public that www.liberosicav.com is impersonating the Maltese licensed Entity. The public should therefore refrain from entering into any transactions or otherwise dealing with the false website on any matters falling within the parameters of the Investment Services Act, Chapter 370 of the Laws of Malta.

The MFSA would like to remind consumers of financial services not to enter into any financial services transaction unless they have ascertained that the entity with whom the transaction is being made is authorised to provide such services by the MFSA or another reputable financial services regulator. A list of entities licensed by the MFSA can be viewed on the official website of the Authority at https://www.mfsa.mt/financial-services-register/.

Additionally, the MFSA notes that Libero International SICAV plc is a Maltese registered company licensed by the MFSA as an Investment Services Provider to offer undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities.

A list of entities licensed by the MFSA can be viewed on the official website of the MFSA at https://www.mfsa.mt/financial-services-register/. For more information on financial scams please refer to the MFSA scam awareness document to keep yourself informed on red flags which help consumers of financial services to identify such financial scams.

If you are a victim of a scam or think you might be dealing with an unauthorized entity or any other type of financial scam, first of all stop all transactions with the company and contact the MFSA at https://www.mfsa.mt/about-us/contact/ as soon as a suspicion arises.
