Without commenting on the business of Investin Gain Trading, the FSCA points out that offering financial products and services in South Africa requires its authorisation. Investin Gain Trading is not so authorised and is not licensed in terms of any financial sector law.
Financial services business refers to persons advising the public on investing their funds in any manner. This is often in the form of offering the public investment opportunities.
To avoid becoming a victim of a scam, the public should not accept any financial advice, assistance or investment offers from persons who are not authorised by the FSCA to conduct financial services. Authorised financial services providers must display the fact that they are authorised on their documentation. South Africans loses millions of rands every year to fraudsters. Illegal operations are sometimes well-disguised as legitimate operations.
If in doubt, the public is encouraged to seek advice from an authorised financial services provider.

What is Fraud? “Fraud” is any activity that relies on deception in order to achieve a gain. Fraud becomes a crime when it is a “knowing misrepresentation of the truth or concealment of a material fact to induce another to act to his or her detriment” (Black’s Law Dictionary). In other words, if you lie in order to deprive a person or organization of their money or property, you’re committing fraud.
