PHOENIX FINANCIAL CONSULTANTS LIMITED Reference number: 539195 View firm →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.
- Towns Plumbing & Heating Supplies Limited (FRN 1014060) introduces customers to PHOENIX FINANCIAL CONSULTANTS LIMITED (FRN 539195). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Towns Plumbing & Heating Supplies.
- Example: if Towns Plumbing & Heating Supplies refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Towns Plumbing & Heating Supplies 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.
