The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) has
announced the launch of a new alert portal, which is aimed at strengthening the global fight against retail investment fraud. The
International Securities & Commodities Alerts Network (I-SCAN) allows investors, online platform providers, banks and institutions to check if a financial regulator has a suspicious activity flag for a particular company or potential investment. I-SCAN is part of IOSCO's
roadmap for retail investor online safety, which sets strategic initiatives for safeguarding retail investors worldwide from fraud, excessive risk and misinformation as digital trading and social media reshape the retail financial market.
