Montréal - The Autorité des marchés financiers (the "AMF") is urging investors to be cautious when dealing with Select Capital Ventures SA and its so-called representatives, including Neil Reid. This company has purportedly contacted foreign investors to offer to redeem their shares of companies that are no longer listed for trading.

We are unaware at this stage whether Québec investors have been targeted by Select Capital Ventures SA.

Advice for investors

The AMF reminds investors about the importance of ensuring that firms and individuals offering to act as intermediaries have the necessary approvals by checking the Register of firms and individuals authorized to practise.

If you believe that you have been the target of fraud, contact the AMF's Information Centre.
