The Picture of a Scam?

The Investment Opportunity versus the Regulator

This is a picture of the relative popularity of fantasticpay, which presents itself as a real estate investment opportunity with fantastic returns, and the regulator of such schemes in Ontario, the Ontario Securities Commission. What is troubling is that the rank of the former is close to the rank of the latter -meaning very few people who are visiting the real estate site are also visiting the OSC site. If you don't know who regulates the investment opportunity, then how can you possibly do any serious due diligence?
