The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) today issued a warning against a clone of Trading 212.
Clones are fraudulent entities that abuse the data (address, name, website, logo, etc) of licensed companies in order to lure potential victims more easily. Clones are fraudulent and have nothing to do with the authorised companies.
Clone firm details
Fraudsters are using the following details to scam people:
Name: 212 Europe Limited/212 Europe Limited UK Ltd/212 Europe Limited Ltd (Clone of FCA authorised firm)
Email: [email protected]
Website: https://www.ma212.com/#/1
FCA authorised firm details
This is the genuine, authorised firm that the fraudsters are claiming to work for. It has no connection with the clone firm.
The correct details are:
Firm Name: Trading 212 UK Limited
Firm Reference Number: 609146
Address: Aldermary House
10-15 Queen Street
London, EC4N 1TX, UNITED KINGDOM
Telephone: +4402038571320
Email: [email protected]
Website: www.trading212.com
If you deal with the clone firm, you won’t have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service if you have a complaint.
You also won’t be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) if things go wrong. This means it’s unlikely you’d get your money back if the firm goes out of business.
