THE Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has flagged five entities in the first week of May for offering unlicensed investment programs to the public.
Hedge Trading, Coco-J Funds Corp., and Coco-J Funds Digital Marketing Services are all not registered with the commission either as a corporation or as a partnership. The three entities also do not have licenses to sell securities or collect investments.
Jonas Lapada-led Hedge Trading promises a 30% return in 15 days for every P500 minimum investment. The scheme also gives a direct referral fee of 10%, a pairing bonus, and a “unilevel” bonus.
