Authorised, but in an insolvency process
This firm is under the control of insolvency practitioners and may have stopped taking on new business. If you are or were a customer, deal with the appointed office holders rather than the firm.
What the FCA says
ATTENTION - Firm in an insolvency process
This firm is in an insolvency process. It is under the control of the appointed insolvency office holder(s) and may have stopped taking on new business.

If you are/were a customer check how this affects you with the firm or the appointed insolvency office holder(s).
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.
