How this type of fraud works
Clone firms copy the name, address and FCA registration number of a genuine authorised firm to appear legitimate. Always verify contact details directly on the FCA register at register.fca.org.uk — never use contact details provided by the firm itself.
Warning signs to watch for
Contact details differ from those on the FCA register
Unsolicited approach by phone or social media
Uses name or registration number of a genuine FCA firm
Pressure to invest quickly
Requests for large upfront deposits
What you lose without FCA protection
Dealing with an FCA-authorised firm gives you access to the Financial Ombudsman Service and FSCS protection up to £85,000. Neither applies to unauthorised firms. The mandatory APP fraud reimbursement rules (October 2023) may require your bank to reimburse you if you transferred money — contact your bank immediately if you have already paid.
What to do if you have dealt with Coutts Wealth Management
Stop all payments immediately. Do not pay further fees to release funds — this is recovery fraud. Contact your bank fraud team to attempt recall. Report to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 and to the FCA at fca.org.uk/consumers/report-scam.
How to verify a firm is FCA authorised
Search register.fca.org.uk and verify the firm's contact details match exactly what you have been given. Also check fca.org.uk/consumers/warning-list. If contact details differ from the register, or the firm appears on the Warning List, do not proceed.
