MSC issues warning on Profitable Sunrise

The Manitoba Securities Commission (MSC) is warning Manitobans about a suspected “high yield investment” offered through a promotional web site for an off shore company called Profitable Sunrise. Profitable Sunrise is not authorized to carry out business in Manitoba.

According to its website Profitable Sunrise offers five different investment plans, with a minimum investment of $10.00 and a “risk free” return of between 1.6 and 2.7 percent per business day on a 180-240 day term.

The Alberta, BC and Quebec Securities Commission have issued alerts against Profitable Sunrise. If you have been contacted by someone claiming to represent Profitable Sunrise, please contact the MSC.
