DMA Europe tells visitors it is “regulated by the Dutch authorities AFM and DNB, and registered with CONSOB under registration number 5536”. CONSOB is the Italian regulator that ordered internet providers to block access to this exact domain.
| Brand | DMA EUROPE — Investment Platform |
| Domain | dmaeu.com |
| Domain registered | 25 June 2026 — three months old |
| Stated address | Oude Enghweg 2, 1217 JC Hilversum, Netherlands |
| Regulators claimed | AFM, DNB and CONSOB registration 5536 |
| Regulator action | CONSOB blackout order — site listed on its register of abusive sites |
| Markets offered | Forex (70+ pairs), commodities, stocks, indices |
The number is the problem
Quoting a regulator is meant to end the argument. Here it starts one. A CONSOB registration number sits in the footer of a site that CONSOB has told Italian providers to make unreachable. Those two facts cannot both describe a firm in good standing, and only one of them was written by the regulator.
There is a second tell in the same sentence. The footer says “DMAsseteuBV is a brand operated by DMA Europe B.V.” Two different company strings in eleven words, on the one line where a broker is supposed to be precise about who it is.
Three months old, and already European
The domain was created on 25 June 2026. The site speaks of “the future of forex trading”, a “large, highly skilled trading services team” and clients whose money sits in “segregated bank accounts in Top-tier banks”.
No bank is named. Segregation is a claim that can be evidenced — the bank, the account structure, the auditor who checks it — and a firm that means it says so. A firm that does not name anything is describing a feeling, not an arrangement.
Why an address is not a licence
A Hilversum street address is easy to rent and easy to print. What matters is whether the AFM register carries this firm, under this name, for this activity. Anyone can check a Dutch licence in minutes, and nobody should deposit before they have. The same goes for the CONSOB number, which is the claim most directly contradicted by CONSOB itself.

What to do before you fund an account anywhere
Take the registration number off the website and look it up on the regulator’s own register, not on the firm’s page. Check that the company name on the register matches the name on the contract. Check the domain’s age. And treat a blackout order as what it is: a regulator saying, in public, that this site should not be reaching its residents.

A regulator’s blackout order is a published administrative fact, not a finding of fraud against any individual. But when a site quotes the very regulator that blocked it, the safe reading is the regulator’s. If you have already deposited, stop sending money and write down every transfer before you contact anyone.
