- 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.
- Elite Audio ( Distribution ) Ltd (FRN 953847) introduces customers to Switcha Limited (FRN 828963). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Elite Audio ( Distribution ).
- Example: if Elite Audio ( Distribution ) refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Elite Audio ( Distribution ) 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.
