Ontario regulator warns public about dealing with unlicensed mortgage entities.

The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA) is cautioning consumers not to engage in mortgage-related transactions with Donald Newton Mason or several entities connected to him, citing their lack of proper licensing to broker mortgages in the province.

According to a consumer alert issued by the provincial regulator, neither Mason nor the organizations Mason Built Financial Inc., Mason Built Financials, and 1000111224 Ontario Inc. are authorized to conduct mortgage brokering business in Ontario.

To verify whether a broker, agent or mortgage firm is licensed, FSRA advises the public to consult its online registry.
