New Zealand Financial Markets Authority added Holding Investment, G.R.C Trustee, Alioth Club, Promarkets, Coinvest, ICX Capital Ltd and AFOManagement to its warning list.

Promarkets is not registered on the FSPR and not an incorporated company in New Zealand. The company has also been falsely advertising showing New Zealand celebrities promoting Promarkets.
Individuals from Promarkets have then been contacting New Zealanders claiming they can gain high profits/yields and are endorsed by New Zealand celebrities which has the hallmarks of a scam.
Coinvest

Coinvest‘s website displays a company certificate of incorporation, as evidence of a license which is false. The website is not associated with New Zealand incorporated company, Coinvest Limited. The website is not subject to any regulation in New Zealand.
