SFCVibe Rating
The Commission opened an investigation into SFCVIBE Rating upon receiving reports that it is a suspected pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes are illegal in New Zealand under the Fair Trading Act 1986. We understand SFCVIBE Rating is operating in several countries including New Zealand, where it has a number of offices. The scheme involves rewards for recruitment of new participants and also attracts participants by offering high payouts for completing basic digital tasks, such as rating and reviewing movies. We strongly advise anyone who comes across SFCVIBE Rating to exercise caution.
