Authorisation being cancelled

This firm has asked the FCA to cancel its authorisation. It is still in force until the FCA processes the application, so existing business keeps its protection, but its regulated work is winding down.

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.
