- Pretending to be supervised by the Commission, these entities request advance payments from individuals applying for a loan, who subsequently don't receive the agreed funds.
October 8, 2021 - The Financial Market Commission (CMF) alerts the public about a series of entities offering loans that are neither supervised by it nor registered in its rolls.
According to information gathered by the CMF's Investigation Unit, these entities offer loans through their websites while requesting advance payments from applicants, who subsequently don't receive the agreed funds. Said entities claim to be supervised by the Commission but are neither registered with it nor authorized to operate. Accordingly, the CMF will file charges against any responsible parties before the Public Prosecutor's Office for alleged fraud.
The identified entities are:
- CrediCapital-CL (credicapital dash cl dot com)
- Hiposecurity (hiposecurity dot com)
- Hipoevoluciona (hipoevoluciona dot com)
- Hipoconstrucción (hipoconstruccion dot com)
The Commission reminds the public about the special alerts page for investors, policyholders, and banking customers available on its website. Interested parties can verify here whether an entity or person offering financial products or services is supervised by the CMF; review alerts issued by the CMF and other foreign regulators on unregulated entities or activities; and other important advice for the protection of investors, policyholders, and financial clients.
