The case coordinates for Scotia were fixed the moment an official warning list picked the operation up. Our review of the available trail supports that placement.
The warning on the record
Scotia claims to be regulated by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), Canada MSB regulatory number: M19237073. But FINTRAC does not regulate forex brokers or issue forex licenses, so having registration does not mean being authorized to provide financial services. Scotia registered in Canada, we searched the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) but found no matching results. The truth is that Scotia is not under valid regulation by any regulators to do forex. Investors' funds in this broker are unsafe and cannot be protected by any law. Scotia is a scam.
Red flags on the map
- Dashboard balances that cannot be verified on-chain
- Pressure to deposit more in order to unlock earlier deposits
- Appears on an official regulator or fraud-warning list
- No verifiable licence for the jurisdictions it targets
