The Italian Institute for Insurance Supervision has ordered the blocking of preventivo.assicurarsinovara.it, saying the site was unlawfully offering insurance services. The blocking action is being carried out by providers operating in Italy, and the effective shutdown may take several days for technical reasons. The latest order brings the number of abusive sites blocked by IVASS to 381 since it began exercising its blocking power in November 2023. IVASS also warned consumers to be cautious of insurance purchase offers made through instant messaging channels such as WhatsApp or text messages, of payment requests using prepaid credit cards, and of websites not included in the official lists of insurance intermediaries and insurance undertakings supervised by IVASS.
