Caddington Limited – Suspected scam, fake pre-IPO offers

We are aware of an entity named Caddington Limited contacting New Zealand residents and offering investment opportunities in a pre-IPO (Initial Public Offering) from a company named Revolut.

Revolut has confirmed that the offer is not legitimate.

Caddington Limited has also published online articles saying it is supporting the FMA's regulatory sandbox initiative in New Zealand. We are concerned that Caddington is using this claim to lend legitimacy to its fake IPO offers. Caddington has no relationship with the FMA or the regulatory sandbox.

We believe that Caddington Limited is also mis-using details of a company registered in Hong Kong.

Caddington Limited is not registered to provide financial services in New Zealand.

We recommend caution when dealing with Caddington Limited. Investors are urged to contact the company allegedly offering the IPO and confirm its legitimacy before dealing with any intermediaries or brokers such as Caddington Limited.

Entity Name: Caddington Limited
Website: Caddingtonlimited.com
Telephones: +852 5803 0614; +81 3505 01799
Address (alleged): 

  • 38 Tai Hong Street, Aldrich Bay, Hong Kong
  • 1 Chome-4-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda City, Tokyo 100-0005, Japan

How to verify an offer

  1. A broker or intermediary contacts you and offers an IPO investment in Company A.

  2. Find the official contact details of Company A yourself online. Do not use any contact details about Company A given by the broker or intermediary.

  3. Contact Company A directly to verify the legitimacy of the investment.

  4. If the broker or intermediary has provided you with any documentations about the offer, provide them to Company A to verify as well.
