Investment scam warning over fake ‘interest rates comparison’ website

Scams are something we need to really be watching out for. We all need to be much more careful when it comes to entering any of our personal details on the internet or even over the phone. Watching out for vulnerable people in our Whanau like our Elderly can save them from this kind of thing happening.

From NZ Herald

A dubious “interest rates comparison website” has sparked a warning from the country’s financial markets watchdog.

The FMA said victims entered personal details into comparison websites and were then contacted by individuals purporting to be from well-known banking institutions such as Citibank or HSBC.

“Some victims have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars to these schemes,” the FMA added.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.
