Does This Match Your Experience?

How Stock Market & Portfolio Scams Unfold

These frauds are built on the appearance of legitimacy — professional titles, polished statements, and market terminology used to manufacture trust before the theft occurs.

1

You are approached by someone presenting themselves as a licensed stock advisor, portfolio manager, or investment specialist — often through LinkedIn, social media, or a referral
2

They present an exclusive opportunity — insider knowledge, a proprietary strategy, or privileged access to high-performing assets
3

Account statements show strong consistent performance — but the figures cannot be independently verified through any regulated exchange or custodian
4

Attempts to withdraw funds or transfer your portfolio are delayed, discouraged, or met with new obstacles
5

The advisor becomes unreachable, the account portal stops working, and the money is gone

Questions

FAQ — Stock Market & Portfolio Scam

Practical answers about what our investigation involves and what you can do next.

How do I check if a stock advisor is registered in Canada?

Visit the Canadian Securities Administrators website at securities-administrators.ca and use the national registration search tool. You can also check the IIROC advisor report at iiroc.ca. If the advisor or their firm does not appear in either database, they are not registered to provide investment advice in Canada — which itself is a serious regulatory breach. Our investigation documents this as part of the case.

The advisor showed me a registration number. Is that enough proof they are legitimate?

No. Fraudulent advisors regularly display fake registration numbers or use the numbers of legitimate registered individuals without their knowledge. Always verify independently — search the number directly at the regulator’s website rather than clicking any link the advisor provides. We investigate claimed credentials as a core part of every stock fraud case.

Can I report this to the securities regulator in my province?

Yes — and this is one of the most important steps you can take. The OSC in Ontario, the AMF in Quebec, the BCSC in BC, and the ASC in Alberta all actively investigate investment fraud. Our report is structured specifically to support a formal regulatory complaint, and we include a step-by-step submission guide tailored to your province with every completed investigation.

My account statements showed strong returns. How do I know if they were fabricated?

Fabricated statements often show returns that are unrealistically consistent, do not reflect actual market movements during the period shown, and cannot be independently verified through any custodian, exchange, or brokerage. Our investigation cross-references claimed returns against real market data, analyses statement structure for inconsistencies, and documents all discrepancies in your evidence report.
