The Canadian provincial watchdog issues a Cease Trade Order against the parent company of Boss Capital. As per the FCAA, the order expires on 3rd of May 2017 and may be extended as necessary. The FCAA states that the company is not registered for securities trading in the Saskatchewan province of Canada. Individuals or firms that want to sell binary options in Saskatchewan need to get registration or license from the FCAA.

Boss Capital previous warnings

This is not the first warning for Boss Capital. Dating back to September 2016, the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) blacklisted the Boss Capital as an unauthorized firm. In addition, the Italy’s CONSOB red flagged Boss Capital in July 2016. Also, the Australian Securities and Exchange Commission (ASIC) issued a warning against Boss Capital in June 2016.

The FCAA alerts the investors that many binary options brokerage firms claim to have registration to provide their financial services. However, the registration is usually in a foreign country which does not allow the firms to do their business in Canada. Furthermore, the watchdog advises the Saskatchewan citizens to double check if the companies have legal authorization to perform their business in the province. However, the citizens should immediately follow up by checking in case they receive any unsolicited calls or online offerings of investment opportunities.

Canadian FCAA's advice to its investors

The Canada’s financial regulator also asks the public to contact the FCAA Securities Division at 306-787-5936 in case anyone from Boss Capital or Melnic Group Limited or any representatives contact them. Ed Rodonets, the FCAA Enforcement Branch Deputy Director in the FCAA Canada Boss Capital warning stated:

“We are again warning investors about unregistered binary options companies, and are very concerned that despite our ongoing efforts, Saskatchewan residents continue to fall victim to these solicitations.  Over the last two years, Saskatchewan residents have lost more than $420,000.”

    its all a scam, i traded with different brokers, most of them disappear when I make withdrawal request, some of them will try to convince you not to withdraw and instead invest more while others will actually allow you withdraw a little amount so they can build your trust and after that they begin to make large requests. i lost a lot to these fraudulent brokers
