The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA) has issued a Temporary Cease Trade Order against Aidan Trading and Catalyst CM Limited. They appear to be operating an unregistered online platform at www.aidantrading.com that allows users to trade in FOREX and Contracts for Difference (CFDs).“A company or individual appearing to be in the business of trading FOREX or CFDs in Saskatchewan must be registered,” FCAA Deputy Director of Enforcement Ed Rodonets said. “Always check to see if these companies or people are registered at www.aretheyregistered.ca before investing. If they are not, do not send information or money as you may become a victim of a scam.”
