What the FCA says

ATTENTION - Firm in a compromise arrangement

This firm has entered into a statutory compromise arrangement with its creditors and/or shareholders. This means it has entered into an arrangement with its creditors and/or shareholders which has altered the rights and obligations of the parties. It has to continue to meet our standards in line with its regulatory status, including when dealing with its customers. Firms enter into a compromise arrangement for various reasons, so if you are a customer check with the firm to determine whether the compromise arrangement affects you.

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.
