Scams using our name and branding are causing concern.
The scams involve websites and emails using our logo and name, and sometimes the names and branding of other legitimate organisations, too.
Some examples include:
- Financial service providers falsely claiming to be members of our organisation (FSCL), when they are not
- Emails requesting the release of funds or payment.
If you receive a communication with our name, branding, or from someone claiming to work for us, or be a FSCL member, you can contact us to verify its legitimacy.
If the communication requests payment, then it is likely a scam.
What you can do
- Check the Financial Service Providers Register or contact us to confirm whether a provider is a member of our dispute resolution service.
- Contact Netsafe.org.nz to report scams
- Contact us if you want to confirm whether a message is from us.
