Investor Alert: noura-benimners

Be an informed investor - Don't be fooled by fraudsters misrepresenting themselves

January 3, 2024 (Toronto, Ontario) – The Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) is warning Canadian investors not to be fooled by noura-benimners.

On their website, noura-benimners.com, the company falsely claims to be regulated by the former Investment Industry Regulatory Organization (IIROC) and a member of the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF).

Noura-benimners is not regulated by the former IIROC or CIRO, nor is it a member of the CIPF.

All investors must be informed and ask themselves important questions before purchasing higher-risk investment products that do not trade on stock exchanges. Unregulated crypto-asset trading platforms are different from regulated marketplaces and may be missing key investor protections.

If you suspect anything unusual, always independently verify the information the person calling or emailing you is providing. Do not rely on unsolicited information and do your own research online. Investors should also check the background, qualifications and any disciplinary history of investment advisors registered with CIRO or the CSA by checking the free AdvisorReport for advisors registered with investment dealers, or the CSA’s National Registrant Search.

If you believe you have been a victim of this or a similar scam, immediately contact your bank, local police, your provincial securities commission, and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
