FCA exposes clone loan firm
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued a warning after it believes a loan firm is fraudulently using the details of an authorised business.
Fast Loans Now has cloned the details of FCA-authorised Advantage Leads, which trades as Fast Loans Now, with the fraudsters claiming to work for Advantage Leads when contacting consumers.
The FCA has found that the scammers have also been giving out other false details mixed with details of Advantage Leads.
The regulator also confirmed that it does not authorise a firm called Fast Loans Now and has described it as a ‘clone firm’. The fraudsters are using the tactic when contacting people out of the blue.
“You should be especially wary if you have been cold called,” the FCA stated.
“They may use the name of the genuine firm, the firm’s address, or other details.
“We strongly advise you to only deal with financial firms that are authorised by us, and check the Financial Services Register and Consumer Credit Interim Permission register to ensure they are.”
Advantage Leads has also confirmed it had no association with the clone firm.
In July the FCA warned consumers over a cloned credit broker.
