The Provincial Securities Commission issuing permanent cease-trade order against MI Capital Corp of Hong Kong and One Capital Corp Limited of Singapore.
The commission received complaints from several people in the province who received many calls in an effort to get them to invest in gold options.
The commission says the number of salespersons is unknown, and at least one of the callers may be using different names.
Executive Director Rick Hancox says you should be particularly suspicious of people offering deals over the telephone.
None of the people reporting the suspicious activity invested any money but, the commission wants to hear from any residents who got calls from the companies or who may have given money to them.
