Partners to Protect Your Money from Investment Fraud
Recent cases devastating thousands of Canadians show that investing in a fraudulent scheme
can destroy the lives of victims and their families. That is why Alberta Securities
Commission (ACS) combined forces With Wise Owls and Fraud Prevention Alberta to provide an online
tool to help you learn how to protect your money. The interactive tool entitled, Investment
Scams: How to Protect Your Money, focuses on some common methods that fraudsters use to approach
potential victims – via friend and family or ‘affinity’, the Internet, seminars and advertisements.
ASC recently acknowledged this partnership in their latest Annual Report stating:
Partnerships build stronger protection against fraud
The ASC has cultivated strong partnerships with provincial
organizations to spread the message about investing wisely in the
capital market. Partnerships, such as those with Fraud Prevention
Alberta, the Wise Owls program of the Alberta Provincial Rural Crime
Watch Association and Alberta Seniors and Community Supports,
help the ASC further promote and distribute resources for the
prevention of investment fraud throughout the province.
