Abstract:FCA warns against 9 unlicensed financial websites, urging investors to avoid them due to lack of regulatory protection.
The UKs Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued a warning about 9 unlicensed financial websites that may be offering or promoting financial services without proper authorization. The regulator urges investors to avoid dealing with these firms as they do not have the necessary FCA license, leaving consumers unprotected in case of disputes or financial losses.
FCA has flagged the following 9 firms as unauthorized and potentially deceptive:

What is the FCA?
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the regulatory body overseeing financial services in the UK. Its primary role is to ensure that financial firms operate fairly, transparently, and in compliance with strict regulations to protect consumers and maintain market integrity.
What Happens If an FCA-Regulated Firm Collapses?
One of the key protections for investors dealing with FCA-authorized firms is the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). If a regulated firm collapses, investors may be eligible for compensation:
• Up to £85,000 per person for lost deposits from a failed financial institution.
• Compensation for investment losses if the firm engaged in fraudulent or improper conduct.
• Faster resolution and potential recovery of funds through the FCAs intervention.

The Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has issued warnings for several platforms operating without the necessary authorization to provide financial services. These platforms, which include websites offering investment opportunities and cryptocurrency services, have been found engaging in unauthorized activities, posing various risks to investors.
Scams thrive on the belief that only the naive or uninformed become victims. Many assume that intelligence, financial acumen, or sheer scepticism will shield them from fraudsters.
