According to the Nova Scotian watchdog, this firm is not registered to trade in or advise on securities or exchange contracts in the province and is one of many alerts issued by the watchdog which involve unauthorised soliciting or contact with retail investors in Canada by unlicensed brokers.

Getting back to the warning, after briefly explaining certain risks related to derivatives products, the provincial authority noted that online advertising services are a dangerous place to shop for investments and recommends exercising extreme caution when dealing with firms that are not registered in Nova Scotia.

The NSSC is the independent provincial government agency responsible for regulating securities trading in Nova Scotia through the administration of the Securities Act. The regulator website provides information, tools and resources for investors, including investor warnings about individuals and companies that appear to be engaging in unauthorized activities.

To fulfil its mandate, NSSC also works in close co-operation with the securities regulatory authorities across Canada through the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA). The CSA is the umbrella organization for the 13 securities regulators of Canada’s provinces and territories that work together to coordinate and harmonize the Regulation of Canada’s capital markets.
