Occhio alle truffe: cinque precauzioni per proteggere i risparmiatori (14 aprile 2026) Prima di investire, è importante fermarsi un momento e verificare.

Le truffe finanziarie sono sempre più diffuse e spesso utilizzano telefono, e-mail, siti internet, social media o applicazioni di messaggistica per contattare potenziali investitori, proponendo opportunità apparentemente affidabili.

Per questo Consob mette a disposizione una guida sintetica articolata in cinque regole, pensata per aiutare i risparmiatori a riconoscere i segnali di rischio più comuni e a evitare le principali trappole.

Le indicazioni riguardano in particolare:

  • la verifica dell’autorizzazione degli intermediari
  • il controllo negli elenchi ufficiali
  • l’attenzione alle offerte provenienti dall’estero
  • la presenza della documentazione informativa prevista dalla normativa
  • la verifica dell’identità e dei riferimenti degli operatori Seguire queste semplici regole può contribuire a ridurre il rischio di cadere in trappole finanziarie.
