The Italian Institute for Insurance Supervision (IVASS) ordered the cessation of unauthorised insurance intermediation carried out through six websites offering insurance services abusively and triggered their blocking by providers operating in Italy. The access-blocking process is under way and, for technical reasons, may take several days to complete. The order covers loddoassicurazioni.com (including www), italianaconteadmiral.store (including www), rca.assibrokertorino.it (including www), sciabicaassicurazioni.it (including www), preventivi.sciabicaassicurazioni.it and rca.sciabicaassicurazioni.it. The cessation orders are published in the “Difendiamoci dalle truffe” section of the IVASS website, bringing the total number of sites subject to such orders to 294 since IVASS began exercising its website-blocking power in November 2023. IVASS also urged consumers to use caution with insurance offers via the internet, phone or messaging apps such as WhatsApp, particularly short-term motor third-party liability policies, and to verify before paying premiums that quotes and contracts relate to duly authorised insurers and intermediaries by checking IVASS’s online registers, including the Register of Insurance and Reinsurance Intermediaries (RUI).
