Individuals purporting to be from Essence Securities Co., Ltd.

We are concerned that individuals purporting to be from Essence Securities Co., Ltd., Shenzhen are cold calling New Zealand residents and may be operating a scam. Offering financial products via cold calling is illegal in New Zealand, most cold callers are likely to be scams.

Individuals include Jack Reid, Nick Wiseman, Dr. Michael Bennett and Nathan Yao. However, please note these are potentially fake names or names used without permission and that individuals operating scams will often change their names. Passports were provided to prove identity but were duplicated and therefore one or both are fraudulent.

The individuals are not registered financial service providers in New Zealand or licensed by the FMA.

Before engaging with any individual purporting to be from Essence Securities Co., Ltd., we recommend contacting Essence Securities Co., Ltd. directly from their contact details provided on website essence.com.cn.
