In January 2024, eight unregulated forex brokers were listed on the Investment Caution List issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) in Canada.
The BCSC is a government agency that regulates the province's capital markets under securities laws. Although it is not a Forex regulator, its warning list often includes illegal brokers that provide Forex trading services.
These brokers not only make Canadian investors potential victims of investment fraud but also pose a threat to global investors. If these entities claim to be located in your country or region, take precautions and check with your local financial regulator.
