Responsible principal firm
Scout Insurance Services Limited Reference number: 312976 View firm →What does this mean?
- An introducer appointed representative can only pass your details to its principal firm. It cannot recommend products, give financial advice, or arrange deals on its own.
- Birmingham Open Spaces Forum (FRN 685298) introduces customers to Scout Insurance Services Limited (FRN 312976). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Birmingham Open Spaces Forum.
- Example: if Birmingham Open Spaces Forum refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Birmingham Open Spaces Forum itself.
- Before you proceed, confirm contact details match the official FCA register for both firms. Scammers sometimes clone legitimate AR names and FRNs but use fake phone numbers and websites.
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.
