The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has put out details of the cloned firm Wellingtoninv.
Fraudsters are using the details of firms, authorised by the FCA, to try to convince people that they work for a genuine, authorised firm.
Fraudsters are using or giving out the following details as part of their tactics to scam people in the UK:
