General information only. The following explains publicly available UK regulatory frameworks for context. It is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such.
Loading regulatory information...1. Check the FCA Register
Visit register.fca.org.uk and search for the firm or individual's name. Only deal with FCA-authorised firms for investments.
2. Search Report Fraud's Scam Database
Visit reportfraud.police.uk to check if the firm or opportunity has already been reported.
3. Use the FCA's ScamSmart Tool
The FCA's free tool at fca.org.uk/scamsmart specifically targets investment scams and maintains a warning list.
4. Search Online
Search the company name + "scam", "review", or "fraud" to find reports from other potential victims.
This is an automated, AI-assisted analysis, not a regulatory or legal determination. It compares the details you provide against patterns commonly seen in known UK scams and produces a probability-based score, not a verified fact.
The score out of 10 reflects how strongly the details you provided match patterns associated with known UK scam types, weighing factors such as promised returns, urgency and pressure tactics, FCA authorisation status, payment method requested, contact method, and known scam structures (e.g. clone firms, recovery scams, pig butchering).
What the bands mean:
• 0–3 — Low Risk: few or no warning signs detected. Still worth verifying any firm independently before sending money.
• 4–6 — Suspicious: multiple warning signs identified that are commonly seen in scams. Verify thoroughly before taking any further action.
• 7–10 — Strong Scam Indicators: a high concentration of factors that closely match known UK scam patterns. We'd strongly advise against sending money until you've independently verified the firm via the FCA Register.
Because every case is different and scammers constantly adapt their tactics, no automated tool, including this one, can guarantee an outcome with certainty. Always use this result alongside your own checks (see "How to Verify This Yourself" above) and, where money has already been sent, contact your bank and Action Fraud immediately.
