Reason for warning: The FMA has been made aware of New Zealand residents receiving an email purportedly from the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). We received a report of a New Zealand resident receiving emails requesting personal information, including their bank account details. We previously received reports of emails including a link for the recipient to complete a compliance due diligence questionnaire.

The FCA has published an alert on its website noting that these emails are not being sent from legitimate FCA email addresses. You can see the update here: https://www.fca.org.uk/consumers/avoid-scams-unauthorised-firms/fake-fca-emails-letters-phone-calls. We advise that you do not respond to/open emails from these addresses or open any link contained in emails from these addresses.
