TORONTO, Aug. 20, 2013 /CNW/ - ​The Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO) is warning consumers that an individual called Mark Li Mosse is not licensed to do insurance business in Ontario.

FSCO has been informed that Mr. Li Mosse sold a false liability slip to a consumer. The slip appeared to be provided by Unifund Assurance Company. Following a traffic stop, Unifund confirmed that the slip was false and the insurance policy listed was not valid.

FSCO has also confirmed that Mr. Li Mosse is not licensed with either FSCO or the Registered Insurance Brokers of Ontario (RIBO).
