Weir falsely claims to be an asset recovery firm based in New Zealand and Hong Kong. Weir is not registered or incorporated in New Zealand.

We are aware of an individual being contacted by Weir regarding funds they had previously lost in a scam. Weir instructed them to pay an advance fee to avoid these funds being sent to a United States government agency. This is a common recovery scam tactic.

Cold calls or other unsolicited contact of any kind should be treated with suspicion.

If you are contacted by a representative from Weir, we recommend ending the communication immediately.
