BCSC WHISTLEBLOWER PROGRAM

Thanks again to my sister Jan Urata for updating me on the BC Security Commission's Whistleblower Program.

A whistleblower is someone who provides information about investment fraud or other types of misconduct and are eligible to receive a financial reward between $1,000 to $500,000.

Whistleblowers know inside information about fraudulent practices and are in the best position to safeguard the public.

Whistleblowers can remain anonymous, but will eventually have to disclose their name if they wish to receive a financial award.

It is heartbreaking to hear stories of how people lost their life savings and it is this practice that gives the exempt private market a bad name. 

The BC Securities Commission takes inquiries from the public at 604-899-6854 or toll-free at 1-800-373-6393 or inquiries@bcsc.bc.ca.
