Warnings and alerts

We are concerned that Investing New Zealand may be operating a scam. It operates a website claiming to compare term deposit rates which states it offers “deposit protection up to $100,000 NZD per investment”, however no such scheme is currently offered in New Zealand.

A scam offering fake term deposits and bonds using the name of Bank of America (Australia) is targeting New Zealanders. Scammers are sending out highly professional looking product disclosure statements which feature the Bank of America’s name, address, logo and registration details.

We recommend caution when dealing with libertycommercialfinanceltd.com which claims to be Liberty Commercial Finance Limited.
