The Italian Institute for Insurance Supervision (IVASS) has ordered the blocking of five websites that were offering insurance services illegally. The affected sites are mannymotori.com, assi-per-giorni.allianzcostacalabrese.it, assicura.dipinto-fcagroup.it, seguro.vittoriaassicurazionipiacenzamellina.it and brevechristiancenedese.it, including the corresponding www variants where specified. Blocking is being carried out by providers operating in Italy and may take several days to take effect for technical reasons. The action brings the number of illegal sites blocked by IVASS to 372 since the authority began exercising its website blocking power in November 2023. IVASS also warned consumers to be cautious about policy offers made through instant messaging services such as WhatsApp or by text message, requests for payment by prepaid credit card, and websites that do not appear on its official lists of supervised insurance intermediaries and insurance undertakings.
