RF Advisors Limited: FMA Warning and Licence Claim
Checked by The Proofmark editorial team against our methodology before publishing
The Proofmark · Our methodology
A licence number can look reassuring. It only helps if it belongs to the firm and website you are dealing with and covers the service offered. For RF Advisors Limited, an official warning and an unverified licence claim make that identity check important.
Is RF Advisors Limited licensed? What we could verify
New Zealand’s FMA included RF Advisors Limited and rfadvisorslimited.com in its IPO scam warning dated 1 October 2026. The exact domain matters when you compare your own messages.
On its contact page, the website claims CIMA permission and uses 1812403 as a company number and a licence or regulation number. CIMA is the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority. These are claims made by the website. They are not our confirmation that the site has a licence.
We attempted a search for RF Advisors in CIMA’s official register across all sectors. A CAPTCHA prevented a result. The licence claim remains unverified. This is not a finding that no matching entry exists.
The contact page contains details that do not match
The contact page retrieved for this review includes RF Advisors addresses and email details, but also Hong Kong and Canary Wharf contact blocks using [email protected]. That mismatch needs an explanation. It does not prove common ownership or that another business took your money.
Compare the details you were given with the contract and payment receipt. Save the dated page in your own records. The practical question is who entered the agreement with you and who received the payment.
What a register entry would need to match
A number on a website is not enough. Check the legal name, current status and work it is allowed to do. Then check whether the website and contact details belong to that entity. A real firm's details can be copied by someone else.
The contact page lists London and Cayman Islands addresses. Neither an address nor a link to a real regulator proves permission to sell you a particular investment. Your country and the service offered still matter.
Use the official CIMA register linked below. If you cannot settle the match, use the regulator’s own contact route. Do not ask only the salesperson to confirm their own claim.
Read your offer as a contract, not a brand name
Find the full legal name in the agreement. Compare it with the name on the invoice and the recipient of your payment. If they differ, write down each name and its stated role.
For an IPO or pre-IPO offer, also find the company issuing the shares. Who records your ownership? Are you buying shares directly or an interest through another firm? When could you sell? These questions test the deal rather than the look of a certificate.
We have not verified a specific share offer made to you, the owners of the website or the total money lost. The warning should not be extended to an unrelated business with a similar name.
Already sent money? Start with the payment trail
- Contact the bank, card provider or service you used promptly if you suspect deception. Describe what was promised and ask about the options for that payment.
- Save the receipt with the recipient name, date, amount and currency. For crypto, keep the transaction ID and network. Never disclose your wallet recovery phrase.
- Put the contract, licence claim and payment record side by side. Highlight names or numbers that do not match.
- Save any reply about a refund or sale of shares. If a further fee is requested, keep that demand and check it through a separate source before paying.
- Record any report made to the FMA or the right body where you live. Reporting a site does not itself secure a refund.
If you have only been approached, keep the offer for your records and pause payment while the you cannot confirm who the firm is or what it can do.
