BCSC Launches Be Fraud Aware Application to Provide On-The-Go Protection Against Investment Fraud
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/30/12 -- As part of its three-year Be Fraud Aware campaign, the British Columbia Securities Commission today launched to help investors identify, spot and report investment fraud at home or on the road.
"Staying informed and alert is key to protecting against and making informed investment decisions," said Patricia Bowles, Director of Communications and Education for the BCSC. "Having information on the warning signs of investment fraud and the tools to spot and report a constantly at your finger tips will make assessing investment offers and decisions much easier for investors."
The Be Fraud Aware mobile app, available for free from for use on iPhone or iPad, provides British Columbians with important information and tools to help them to protect themselves against investment fraud:
In addition, the red 'report fraud' button on the app allows individuals to act immediately and send information about potential investment fraud anonymously to the BCSC.
"Now, people sitting in an investment seminar or a meeting where they are asked to make a commitment on the spot can quickly and easily access information that will help them make an informed decision," added Bowles. "They will also be able to report their suspicions and fears directly to the BCSC."
The BCSC is the independent provincial government agency responsible for regulating trading in securities within the province. Learn more about the BCSC's Be Fraud Aware campaign at .
