While exposing these Clone Firms, the FCA stated that almost all firms and individuals must be authorised by us if they offer, promote, or sell financial products or services in the UK. But these firms are not authorised by us and are targeting UK citizens. FCA said that Fraudsters copy the details of firms FCA'S authorise to try and convince people that their firm is genuine.
