The Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) has issued a warning regarding fraudulent activities associated with the website www.landsonfinhold.com, which offers financial and cryptocurrency services. This warning was published on the CSSF's official website on March 3, 2025.
According to the CSSF, another warning has been issued concerning the now-defunct fraudulent website www.worldinvestorssrl.com. This site falsely claimed to represent World Investors S.à r.l. and engaged in illicit activities, including identity theft. The scam website used specific email addresses and a phone number, while listing a fake registered office in Luxembourg. The legitimate World Investors S.à r.l., now relocated to Belgium, is not connected to this fraudulent operation.
The CSSF, along with other European and international authorities, regularly issues warnings to alert the public about potential fraud and illegal activities by unregistered service providers and individuals. These warnings are not exhaustive, as additional fraudulent entities may exist. For further protection from financial fraud, the CSSF provides advice and resources on identifying and avoiding fraudulent providers.
The regulatory framework of the CSSF incorporates international, European, and national rules that guide its supervision efforts. It aligns with guidelines from the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to ensure consistent supervisory practices. According to information available on its website, these guidelines are not automatically enforceable unless a competent authority notifies its compliance.
The CSSF serves as Luxembourg’s public authority overseeing the financial sector to ensure market integrity and consumer protection. It supervises authorized entities for compliance with regulations aimed at preventing fraud, money laundering, and terrorist financing. The CSSF applies international standards with a risk-based approach to supervision while fostering transparency and accountability. It collaborates with national and international bodies to maintain financial stability and uphold good governance practices.
