The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued an urgent warning regarding Athena Acquisition Corp, an unauthorized entity offering or promoting financial products and services in the UK without legal permission.
According to the regulatory notice, Athena Acquisition Corp targets UK consumers despite lacking the necessary registration and licensing. The entity operates via the website www.athenaacquisitioncorp.com, uses the contact email [email protected], and lists an address at 250 West 55th Street, New York, NY 10019, United States.
The FCA warns that unauthorized firms often use misleading contact information or impersonate legitimate entities to appear genuine. Engaging with unregulated firms presents significant financial risks. Investors who transfer money to Athena Acquisition Corp will not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service or protection from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) in the event of losses or insolvency.
Investors are strongly advised to check the FCA Warning List and verify any company using the FCA Firm Checker before making financial commitments. Anyone approached by Athena Acquisition Corp should report the entity directly to regulatory authorities.
