The French Financial Markets Authority has blacklisted Bitkelttrade.com and warned investors about fraudulent websites impersonating prominent French media outlets to promote the unauthorized BitKeltTrade trading platform. The fake articles attribute fabricated endorsements and investments to public figures, claim the platform uses artificial intelligence to generate rapid returns and, in one case, refer to a fictitious government program supervised or administered by the authority. BitKeltTrade has no authorization in the European Union. The sites seek to direct users to the platform and obtain their contact details, and the authority advised investors not to engage or provide personal information. Other related websites are under review. The authority also reminded the public to verify that firms offering investment or crypto-asset services are authorized in the EU and do not appear on its blacklists.
