FCA warns after fraudsters target industry again
The FCA has hit out at fraudsters using the guise of secured loans brokerage, Loan.co.uk to scam individuals in the UK.
The FCA has issued a public warning over “Loan.co.uk Limited Group”, insisting that they have no connection at all with well-known industry brokerage, Loan.co.uk.
Lenders and consumers are being warned to steer clear of the fraudsters, who are increasingly attacking the secured loans market.
In just the past month, the FCA has issued a number of warnings against firms claiming to offer second charge loan products.
In a statement on the Regulator’s website, said: “Almost all firms and individuals carrying out consumer credit activities in the UK have to be registered for interim permission by us. This firm is not registered by us but has been targeting people in the UK.
“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’s interim permission reference number (IP), the firm’s previous Office of Fair Trading licence number (CCL), or other details.”
