  • Kernow Vans (FRN 1062755) introduces customers to 21st Century Vehicles Limited (FRN 674253). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Kernow Vans.
  • Example: if Kernow Vans refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Kernow Vans 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.
