The New Brunswick Financial and Consumer Services Commission issued an alert warning investors that Black Forest Ventures Limited, operating via blackforest-ca.icu, is not registered to deal or advise in securities or derivatives in New Brunswick. The Commission urged investors to avoid engaging with unregistered firms, citing the lack of assured investor protections. The entity claims to be located in New York, New York, United States, and the Commission noted the warning applies only to the specific company and URL identified. It also directed investors to resources on how registration protects investors, including the National Registration Search tool, and guidance on identifying fraud risks in crypto asset trading platforms.
