What does this mean?

An appointed representative (AR) can carry out regulated financial services, but is not directly authorised by the FCA. A principal firm holds the authorisation and is legally responsible for the AR's conduct.
ARENITE SPECIALTY LIMITED (FRN 1038390) is an AR of Pine Walk Capital Limited (FRN 949934). When you use ARENITE SPECIALTY's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.

Website, phone number and address

Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.
