Outside FCA payment rules
This firm appears on the FCA register, but its payment service falls within an exclusion, so it is not regulated by the FCA. That means the FSCS does not cover it and the Financial Ombudsman Service cannot normally look at a complaint about it.
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.
