- 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.
- Pennington Surveyors Limited (FRN 419631) introduces customers to Jensten Insurance Brokers (East) Limited (FRN 516933). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Pennington Surveyors.
- Example: if Pennington Surveyors refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Pennington Surveyors 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.

- Cash at bank
- Money in the company’s accounts on the last day of the year.
