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.

Past FCA permissions and consumer protection

New business with this firm has no cover at all, because it is no longer permitted to carry it out.

Limits on the record

  • This firm may handle your money in passing but must not hold it, so payments should go to the product provider, never to a personal account.

FCA disciplinary action and complaints

No FCA disciplinary action. The Financial Ombudsman Service only publishes complaint figures for firms with 30 or more new complaints in six months, so there are none here for this firm.
