FCA said fraudsters could use well-known brand names and personal names to pretend to be fraudulent legally. Companies offering regulated financial services must be FCA-approved. FCA argue investor to check the FCA register to find whether companies are authorized or not. To avoid clone firms, the investor should use the contact information provided in the register rather than the company's details.
