FCA Warning: capital-bltd.com and capital-bltd.net Identified as Clones of Authorised Firm

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom has updated its warning list to include capital-bltd.com and capital-bltd.net. According to the regulator, these websites belong to an unauthorized clone firm that is actively contacting individuals and falsely claiming to represent an FCA-regulated business to mislead investors. Fraudsters behind the scam are operating via the domains capital-bltd.com and capital-bltd.net. They attempt to deceive the public by copying official registration information and mixing it with fraudulent contact details. Scammers frequently alter their phone numbers, email addresses, and specific pitches over time to evade detection. The FCA confirmed that the clone entities have no legitimate connection to the genuine, authorized firm. The legitimate business details are as follows: Firm Name: Capital-B Ltd Firm Reference Number: 763815 Address: 14 Devonshire Square, London, EC2M 4YT, United Kingdom Telephone: +4407856700019 Email: [email protected] Investors who engage with unauthorized clone brokers do not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service or protection under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). This means that individuals who transfer funds to these unauthorized entities are unlikely to recover their money if the platform shuts down or refuses withdrawals. The FCA advises consumers to verify the regulatory status of any financial service provider using the official FCA Register before engaging in transactions. Anyone who has been approached by capital-bltd.com, capital-bltd.net, or any other suspected clone firm should report the matter directly to the FCA or their local financial authority.
