Comments for NZ Scams to Avoid http://5nz.com Information about scams in New Zealand Thu, 01 Jul 2010 06:03:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Comment on About 5nz.com by edenhouse http://5nz.com/about/comment-page-1/#comment-152 edenhouse Thu, 01 Jul 2010 06:03:23 +0000 http://5nz.com/?page_id=2#comment-152 I've been getting a hard sell from an Auckland based company called Sim Com Group. They purport to offer a leverage scheme that is fail safe and tax free (?). I don't wish to do them an injustice and wondered if anyone has had any dealings with this company. It is similar to a company called Excel that did disappear with clients money! There is one negative report on the web and, their own web site leaves something to be desired. But nothing so far to say that it's actually a scam of any sort? Ta, Richard harriszn@hotmail.com I’ve been getting a hard sell from an Auckland based company called Sim Com Group.

On searching who's who in NZ I only came up with a Nelson company who published a book in 08 which you had to pay for to advertise in. There is no cost according to the fax to be listed, however I am very wary of giving any information to a company that is unable to be contacted and doesn't have any kind of listing anywhere. I wonder what they are actually after and why? I also just received the same fax.

So maybe it is a great idea to contact all businesses listed on the www.nzlook.co.nz website and nbo etc and have them take all listings off. Once there are no listings left they have no business anymore. It is a bit of a job but maybe the only effective way to get them stop this nonsense scam I received an invoice from nzlook.co.nz
