Fraudsters are using the details of a genuine Maltese entity to try to deceive the public, the Malta Financial Services Authority has warned.

The website https://securetrading-services.com/ falsely claims to be associated with a licensed and authorised organisation in Malta, the MFSA said in a statement. 

The entity claims to have a presence in France, Luxembourg and the UK, with its head office located in Paris, France. These representations are believed to be false.

The MFSA said it can confirm that the website has no association with the authorised and licensed company Secure Trading Financial Services Ltd, which is a Malta-based company with a registered office in Birkirkara (company registration C56013).

The MFSA said the public should refrain from undertaking any business or transactions with the false entity. 

A list of entities licensed by the MFSA is available from the official website https://www.mfsa.com.mt/financial-services-register/
