The Financial Markets Authority (FMA) has just issued a public warning against a scam company called Smart Financial Markets.
Smart Financial Markets
Phone: 0061243921782, 0061246814442, 0061245288808, 0061209644932, 0061205665521
The FMA informed the public that it has received a report that representatives from Smart Financial Markets are cold-calling New Zealand residents, claiming to be dually registered in Switzerland and New Zealand, with the registration number 90/353.
According to the regulator, Smart Financial Markets, however, are not registered to provide financial services in New Zealand, therefore the FMA considers that this entity bears the hallmarks of a scam.
The regulator has also noted that Smart Financial Pty Ltd, an Australian registered company with a similar name, has confirmed on its website to have no association with Smart Financial Markets.
This is the second warning issued by the regulator this week.
