At Tasman Foreign Exchange, we understand how important trust and security is when moving money internationally. Tasman FX is alerting our customers to scam warnings and misleading information online that may confuse or alarm our customers — particularly references to website warnings that do not apply to our business. The Financial Markets Authority of New Zealand has blacklisted these imposter companies in an effort to highlight these scams and protect unknowing consumers.
Let us set the record straight.

What the Scam Warnings Say
Some scam alert websites have incorrectly listed Tasman FX as a blacklisted site. These warnings actually refer to fraudulent copycat websites using similar names, such as “Tassman FX” or other slight variations like Tasman Ltd in an effort to trick our customers or people searching for us.
The real blacklisted websites can be viewed on the FMA list of fake online investment platforms.
How Do Fake Websites Scam People?
The FMA has become aware of a large network of fake online investing platforms. These platforms are being used as part of an investment scam. Once a person invests in one of these platforms, they are presented with a login where they can see the “profits” they have earned. However, the “profits” are fabricated. When investors try to withdraw their funds, the platforms refuse. The platforms will often ask for further payments to cover “taxes” or “withdrawal fees”, saying that the withdrawal will be processed once the extra payments are made. However, even if the investor pays the extra money, no funds will be released.
Find out more about well known scams that are trying to trick investors out of their money. Always make sure you are dealing with the authentic website by checking the website address carefully and noticing any changes or tweaks to logos and branding that might not at first be obvious.
Remember –If you’re ever unsure if a website is legitimate, always check. You can verify company details directly using the official FSPR register or by contacting us.
