The New Brunswick Financial and Consumer Services Commission issued an investor warning that Aurora Stocks and CapricornXPro are not registered to deal or advise in securities in New Brunswick and should be avoided because there is no assurance of investor protections when engaging with unregistered firms. The alert identifies Aurora Stocks (aurorastocks.com and advisor-aurorastocks.com), listed as located in the United Kingdom, and notes a UK Financial Conduct Authority warning that the entity has contacted people while pretending to be Aurora Financial IFA Limited, which the FCA indicates is legitimately authorised. It also clarifies the warning does not apply to other businesses with the same or similar names, including Aurora Cannabis Inc. The Commission also names CapricornXPro (capricornxpro.net, CapricornX.net and Trade.CapricornXPro.net), also listed as located in the United Kingdom, and reports complainants received an email from a company called Quantum before being directed to invest via the CapricornXPro platform; it points to related investor alerts on CapricornX from the Manitoba Securities Commission and Quebec’s Autorité des marchés financiers, and directs investors to use the National Registration Search tool to check registration status.
