What is a Clone Firm?
A clone firm is a type of scam where an unauthorized company poses as a legitimate financial services provider. Clone firms often use the same name, logo, and website as the legitimate company, making it difficult for investors to distinguish between the two.
The FCA has issued a warning that fraudsters are impersonating authorized firms by copying their details to deceive individuals. Specifically, the FCA has highlighted that HTFX is not authorized by the FCA and is contacting people while falsely presenting itself as an authorized firm, operating without proper authorization.
