  • F.W. Spilsbury Limited (FRN 981815) is an AR of Ecclesiastical Planning Services Limited (FRN 958152). When you use F.W. Spilsbury's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.

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.
