| Comments: | We recommend caution when dealing with Garrick & Crown and its website garrickandcrown.com. Garrick & Crown is demonstrating many of the hallmarks of an investment scam. We have received reports of Garrick & Crown making unsolicited phone calls to New Zealand residents, promoting stock broking and managed investment plans. Garrick & Crown is not registered to provide financial services or products in New Zealand. The firm claims to be based in England and Denmark, but it is not registered in these jurisdictions either. Garrick & Crown may be associated with Trent & Castle, a firm which the FMA warned about on 6 March 2024. If you receive a call from a Garrick & Crown representative, the FMA recommends you end the call immediately and block the caller’s number. If you have transferred funds to Garrick & Crown, we recommend you contact your bank immediately to report the payment.
