SEC warns people to be careful about using services from unauthorized service providers.

SEC warns the public and investors to be careful about using investment services with unlicensed securities, futures and digital asset business operators, including such business operators from abroad, as they are not under the supervision of the SEC and risk being deceived. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would like to warn the public to be careful of investment solicitations or recommendations from unlicensed securities, futures and digital asset businesses, including such businesses from overseas, as they are not under the supervision of the SEC and are at risk of being scammed. In addition, organizers of events that have booths at their events are warned to be careful of allowing unlicensed businesses to set up booths, as this could be considered a supporter of wrongdoing. In the past, the SEC has monitored and observed events or exhibitions in the form of booths that are related to introducing investment services or inviting investment. In the event that it is found that there are actions that may be considered as operating a business without permission or are investment products that are not permitted to be offered for sale, which is an offense under the supervision of the SEC, the SEC will coordinate with the event organizer to close the booth and take legal action, which is punishable by both imprisonment and fines. If it is considered as an action that may be against other laws, the SEC will coordinate with the relevant agencies to take further action.
