The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) said on Wednesday it had become aware of an entity operating under the name of Quickx or CNexchnage which has an internet presence at the following links: https://www.cnexchange.io/Home, https://www.quickx.io/ and https://www.quickswapx.io/.

On its websites the entity is promoting the services of “online digital asset trading platform (crypto to crypto) for products commonly known as cryptographic tokens, digital tokens or cryptographic currency, collectively referred to as digital currency.

The MFSA warned the public that Quickx - or CNexchnage - is not licensed or otherwise authorised by the MFSA to provide any VFA services or other financial services which are required to be licensed or otherwise authorised under Maltese law.

Furthermore, information available to the MFSA suggests that the entity is likely to be a scheme of dubious nature with a high risk of loss of money. The public should therefore refrain from undertaking any business or transactions with the above-mentioned entity.

The MFSA reminded consumers of financial services not to enter into any financial services transaction unless they have ascertained that the entity with whom the transaction is being made is authorised to provide such services by the MFSA or another reputable financial services regulator.

Investors should also be extra cautious when being approached with offers of financial services via unconventional channels such as telephone calls or social media.
