ASC promotes fraud prevention tips through new board game
The Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) is hoping a new board game will help educate Albertans on recognizing the red flags of fraud so they can protect themselves before making a real life investment.
Kajillionaire was launched March 6 and brings its players into the world of investment fraud to bring attention to the many different types of scams that Albertans commonly face.
The game is being promoted on the ASC’s investor education website and is a part of an annual campaign for Fraud Prevention Month.
“Each year, the ASC leads a campaign during Fraud Prevention Month to educate Albertans about how to protect themselves from investment scams,” said Alison Trollope, Director, Communications and Investor Education with the ASC.
