REASON FOR WARNING: We have received a complaint from a NZ investor who claimed to have lost a significant amount of money from investing with overseas investment companies. Mergers & Acquisitions Compliance Commission (MACC) was involved in the investment process as a “regulator”, specifically in relation to offshore withholding tax matters. It is noted on the website operated by MACC that it is the primary overseer and regulator of the mergers and acquisitions industry in the USA. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website includes a list of its regional offices, and MACC is not one of them. The MACC is also not listed as part of the Federal Trade Commission. We therefore do not believe MACC is a legitimate regulator as claimed on their website.
