Registered with the FCA
This firm is on the FCA register, but as a registration rather than full authorisation, so the FCA's oversight of its conduct is more limited.
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.
