The principal mandate of the Nova Scotia Securities Commission (NSSC) is to protect Nova Scotia investors. One of the ways we do that is by issuing investor alerts and cautions. You can find all the alerts and cautions we’ve issued for the last eight years on our Investor Alert Database.
To create further awareness concerning the companies and people we have Issued Alerts and Cautions about, our Before You Invest Blog does regular reviews of alerts throughout the year.
The review looks back at all the alerts and cautions we issued between January and March.

March 8, 2025 - Learn to spot and avoid investment fraud during Fraud Prevention Month
March is Fraud Prevention Month, and the Nova Scotia Securities Commission (NSSC) is reminding Nova Scotians that losses to investment fraud continue to soar in Nova Scotia.
To mark Fraud Prevention Month and combat the escalating threat of online investment fraud, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are together urging Canadians to help fight fraud by reporting suspected scams and by increasing vigilance when considering online investment opportunities.
The CSA warned the public about false documentation circulating via email that uses CSA branding and names of CSA executives as part of a scheme that promises to recover investor funds lost due to fraudulent activities.
Investor Cautions issued by NSSC:
Investor Cautions are warnings to potential investors that the individuals or entities named do not appear to be registered to engage in the business of offering securities or derivatives in Nova Scotia or that the investment products do not appear to be offered in a manner permitted by Nova Scotia securities laws.
