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.
  • Sheldon (Funeral Services) Limited (FRN 952835) introduces customers to Golden Charter Limited (FRN 965279). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Sheldon (Funeral Services).

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.
