The Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) has issued a warning concerning fraudulent activities associated with the website www.landsonfinhold.com, which purports to offer financial and cryptocurrency services. This announcement was made public on the CSSF's official website on February 10.

According to the CSSF, the website landsonfinhold.com falsely claims affiliation with Landson Financial Holding S.A. and is involved in identity theft and other illicit activities. The fraudulent site uses email addresses support@land-son.net and info@land-son.net and provides a false address in Luxembourg. The legitimate company, Landson Financial Holding S.A., has no connection to this website or its operators.

The CSSF, along with other European and international authorities, regularly issues warnings to inform the public about potential frauds and illegal activities by unregistered service providers and individuals. These warnings are not exhaustive, as additional fraudulent entities may exist. For further protection against financial fraud, the CSSF offers advice and resources on identifying and avoiding fraudulent providers.

The regulatory framework of the CSSF incorporates international, European, and national rules that guide its supervision. It aligns with guidelines from the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to ensure consistent supervisory practices. These guidelines are not automatically enforceable unless a competent authority notifies its compliance. The CSSF may integrate these guidelines through administrative tools such as Circular CSSF.

As Luxembourg’s public authority overseeing the financial sector, the CSSF ensures market integrity and consumer protection by supervising authorized entities for compliance with regulations aimed at preventing fraud, money laundering, and terrorist financing. It applies international standards using a risk-based approach to supervision while fostering transparency and accountability. The CSSF collaborates with national and international bodies to maintain financial stability and uphold good governance practices.
