Unlicensed Cold Callers
The following is a list of unlicensed overseas companies and suspected scam websites which have come to the attention of the International Securities Regulatory Commission (ISRC).
Most of these unlicensed companies either represent themselves as having operations by using the address of a mail forwarding facility or settle their transactions through a banking institute. They may operate from overseas and contact potential investors in Europe and Asia while not having been licensed. While some of them may be boiler room operations, others may merely have failed to comply with licensing requirements.
Investors should exercise extreme caution when dealing with companies that are not licensed in any jurisdiction.
Suspected scam websites may either be scamsters using their websites to offer too-good-to-be-true investment opportunities (e.g. offering pre-IPO stocks of fabricated companies at huge discounts) which do not actually exist, or fraudulent copycat websites which imitate the websites of reputable financial institutions to lure investors to part with their money and/or disclose personal information which the fraudsters may use to swindle investors.
Recently, it has come to the ISRC's attention that boiler room activities and scam websites have become more active. If you wish to find out more about boiler room operations and scam websites, please reply to file@intsecurities.us.
