Consob warns savers about the dangers of online trading exercises promoted via the internet and social media, which simulate trading activities in a financial video game. These practices aim to pass skill tests and make a profit, but they come with significant risks. In an official statement, the Authority explains that these transactions are known by various names, including "shadow investment game", "funding trading", and "financed trading accounts". According to the Consob Warning, these initiatives encourage users to participate in online trading challenges, which frequently require enrollment in expensive training courses.
