The Italian Institute for Insurance Supervision (IVASS) ordered the cessation of insurance intermediation carried out through five websites offering insurance services without authorisation and instructed Italian providers to block access to them. The blocking process is under way and, for technical reasons, may take a few days to become fully effective. The affected domains are serviziopreventivionline.com, massimilianocoiana.it, galatarc.it, prezzileggeri.info and gallotta-assicurazioni.com. The cessation orders are published in the “Defendiamoci dalle truffe” section of the IVASS website, bringing the total number of sites subject to such orders since November 2023 to 259. IVASS also urged consumers to exercise caution with insurance offers made via the internet, phone or instant messaging, especially short-term motor third-party liability policies, and to verify before paying premiums that quotes and contracts refer to duly authorised undertakings and intermediaries listed on IVASS registers, including the Single Register of Insurance Intermediaries.
