June 10, 2025 - The Financial Market Commission (CMF) alerts the public about a series of entities offering loans on their websites.
According to information gathered by the CMF's Investigation Unit, these entities claim to be supervised by the Commission and request advance payments from applicants for loans that never materialize.
Therefore, the CMF filed three complaints before the Public Prosecutor's Office for alleged fraud against the following entities:
- Financiera Arauco, an impersonator of Celulosa Arauco operating through the arauco dot finance website.
- Big Sky Cooperativa, an impersonator of Big Sky VC S.A. operating through the bigskyvc dot finance website.
- Cooperativa de Ahorro y Crédito Principal, an impersonator of Principal AGF operating through the principalcl dot com website.
The CMF reminds the public about the Fraud 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; check 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.
