October 27, 2022 - The Financial Market Commission (CMF) alerts the public about a pair 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 claim to be supervised by the Commission and offer loans through their websites and social media while requesting advance payments from applicants. After making said advance payments, applicants do not receive the agreed funds. Therefore, the CMF will file charges against any responsible parties before the Public Prosecutor's Office for alleged fraud.
The identified entities are:
- An impersonator of Global Soluciones Financieras hosted at globalsolucionesfinancierascl dot com
- Credichile SAS (credichilesas dot com)
The Commission also reports that fraudulent entities use bank accounts belonging to natural persons to collect money from their scams. Therefore, it reminds the public that checking, vista or RUT accounts are strictly personal and must not be made available to third parties to receive funds from unknown origins. Anyone who provides their bank account to third parties who commit a crime may be subject to criminal penalties.
In addition, a special alerts page for investors, policyholders, and banking customers is available on the CMF website.
