The Astana Financial Services Authority issued a public alert concerning the inactive nystatebees.com website, which appears to have falsely represented itself as, or as being associated with, licensed firm Freedom Finance Global PLC. The website displayed the company’s name, the authority’s name and a copy of Freedom Finance Global’s genuine licence certificate without authorization, creating a misleading impression that its operators were regulated. The authority stressed that copying a licence does not confer regulatory status and advised investors to verify providers through its Public Register before transferring funds or disclosing personal information. Freedom Finance Global’s official website is www.fbroker.kz.
