Miscellaneous
Comments: We are concerned that Early Offerings may be operating a scam.

It operates a website claiming to give investors access to an “exclusive IPO watchlist”.

The website prompts consumers to enter personal contact details and details of their proposed investment into a form so they can get a “free trial”.

The entity that operates this website was found to be operating other scam websites that harvested investor details.

FMA believes Early Offerings is a front, used to collect personal information from New Zealanders, which then enables overseas scammers to contact them with fictitious investments.

We recommend New Zealanders exercising extreme caution when dealing with this entity and not provide it with any personal information.
