In Saskatchewan, companies and individuals need to be registered with the FCAA to trade, sell, or give advice on securities and derivatives. These companies and individuals are not registered with the FCAA.
"Before you engage in an investment opportunity or follow guidance from someone offering investment advice, check to see if the company or individual is registered by visiting www.aretheyregistered.ca," said Harvey White, FCAA Director of Enforcement.
Anyone contacted by these companies or individuals should contact the FCAA's Securities Division at 306-787-5936.
