Additional source context

We are concerned that NZ Rate Finder may be operating a scam. It operates a website claiming to “compare the best investments in New Zealand”. This website says that investors can “invest up to $100,000 safely with the Depositor Compensation Scheme”. However, no such scheme is currently offered in New Zealand. Users are prompted to enter personal contact details into the site and details of their proposed investments through an online form. We believe this website is a front, used to collect personal information from New Zealanders, which then enables overseas scammers to contact them with fictitious term deposit investments. We recommend New Zealanders exercise extreme caution when dealing with this entity and not provide it with any personal information.Entity name: NZ Rates FindersWebsite: nzratefinder.comEmail: help@nzratefinder.com

Read the primary authority source

Read the finding in context

The recorded category is reproduced above. Read the linked authority’s finding in its own terms. An authorization warning, restriction or other regulatory notice does not by itself establish every allegation about an entity or prove a particular person’s loss.

Match the record to your experience

Compare the complete website or profile address, payment destination and communications you used. A similar name is not enough to identify the same operator. Retain original messages, payment references and dates so that any differences remain visible.

Follow the evidence and payment route

CryptoDac investigates cryptocurrency fraud, traces digital assets and develops evidence to pursue appropriate lawful recovery routes. For a matter relating to NZ Rates Finders – Comparison site harvesting investor details, the starting questions are which identity presented the service, how payments were sent, which records support the sequence and which relevant platform or authority may be able to act.

A useful chronology separates amounts actually sent from displayed balances or advertised returns. Public transaction records can show movement between addresses, while ownership and legal responsibility may require further evidence. Recovery strategy depends on the facts and the actions of the relevant parties.

Preserve what can support a review

Keep exact website addresses, dated correspondence, transaction IDs, network details and the original records of payment and withdrawal requests. Describe uncertainty honestly. Do not send seed phrases, private keys, passwords or one-time codes.
