What does this mean?
  • 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.
  • Jeffrey Griffiths (FRN 1061481) introduces customers to Jigsaw Finance Limited (FRN 679612). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Jeffrey Griffiths.
  • Example: if Jeffrey Griffiths refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Jeffrey Griffiths itself.

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.
