Fake Securities Regulator Used for Identity Theft, DOJ Says

By Securities Docket on April 24, 2020, 7:50 am

The unknown individual masquerading as a securities regulator is using its website to collect personal information as part of an identity theft scheme, DOJ alleged Thursday in Texas federal district court.

The fictitious regulator calls itself the Board of Securities and Financial Services, but there’s “no federal or state regulatory entity known” by that name, according to a Justice Department civil complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas.
