- 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.
- Matex Lab UK Limited (FRN 978235) introduces customers to PMD Leasing Limited (FRN 716412). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Matex Lab UK.
- Example: if Matex Lab UK refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Matex Lab UK 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.
