Fraudsters can impersonate legitimate financial services firms, making it harder to know who you're dealing with.
Before acting on a financial offer you see online, use our Firm Checker to check that a firm is authorised and the contact details match.
Doing so can help avoid losing your hard earned money to a scam.
Before you seal the deal, check it's real.
