  • FCA WARNING: Verrazzano Capital/Verrazzano UK (clone)

    We have published this statement in order to warn consumers against dealing with unauthorised firms.


    http://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/...zzano-uk-clone

    Fraudsters are using the details of firms we authorise to try to convince people that they work for a genuine, authorised firm. Find out more about this ‘clone firm’.
    This is what we call a 'clone firm'; and fraudsters usually use this tactic when contacting people out of the blue, so you should be especially wary if you have been cold called. They may use the name of the genuine firm, the 'firm reference number' (FRN) we have given the authorised firm or other details.
    You can find out more about this scam tactic and how to protect yourself from clone firms.

        Hello,
        I believe I have been scammed by the same people under a different name.
        Police are still investigating.
        Have you heard anything back?
        If you would like to get in touch, maybe we will be able to confirm they are the same people, and try to find them. Then send me an email on mohamed.mba@live.co.uk
