The Financial Markets Authority of New Zealand (NZ FMA) has issued a warning following investor complaints about being unable to withdraw funds invested from Laviitas Investment Inc. (Laviitas.com) and Zs Firm Investments (zsfirmltd.com).
Both entities claimed to be registered in New Zealand, and they present a link to the company registration records of New Zealand-registered company CFX Finance Limited (NZBN: 9429048840392) on their websites. However, the FMA has confirmed that CFX Finance Limited is not associated with these entities.
Zs Firm Investments now displays a UK company registration certificate (Company No. 12486456) on its website. However, this registration number belongs to a different company that was dissolved in January 2025.
The FMA advises investors to exercise caution when dealing with Laviitas Investment Inc. and Zs Firm Investments.
