Investor alert: Octavus Trade Limited is not registered in New Zealand
15 September 2022
Investor alert: Octavus Trade Limited is not registered in New Zealand
FMA recommends exercising caution when dealing with Octavus Trade Limited and octavus.trade (the website). Octavus Trade Limited is not a registered financial service provider in New Zealand. The website contains a forged New Zealand company Certificate of Incorporation and AMI Certificate of Insurance. It claims to offer investment returns which appear to be unrealistically high.
The entity is falsely claiming to be a New Zealand incorporated company. The forged Certificate of Incorporation displayed on the website contains the company number: 8381101 and NZBN: 9429050607655 which belong to Terra Octavus Limited, a New Zealand incorporated company.
The website has also displayed a forged AMI Certificate of Insurance with fake customer number. Octavus Trade Limited claims to have AMI Liability insurance covers but Insurance Australia Group Limited has confirmed that their business division, AMI has not provided such insurance covers to Octavus Trade Limited, nor is this entity a customer of AMI.
