The Ontario Securities Commission provides some useful tools and resources at their website to help you learn more about protecting yourself against investment fraud.
In addition, the Ontario Securities Commission provides information about individuals and companies that appear to be engaging in activities that may pose a risk to investors. The OSC warns that this information is not exhaustive. It is strongly recommended that you should always check the registration of the individual or company you’re dealing with and research the investment before you buy.
