FCA Warns UK Consumers About Unauthorised Firm NV-Group

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has warned that NV-Group is not authorised to provide financial services in the UK and may be targeting people there. The regulator advises consumers to avoid dealing with the firm and to be alert to possible scams. The warning lists the firm’s address as London and names trader.nv-group.cc and nv-group.cc/index.html as its websites. The FCA also lists telephone numbers 447441948821 and +447575508443, along with the email addresses [email protected] and [email protected]. It cautions that unauthorised firms may use incorrect or changing contact details, or details belonging to another business or individual, to appear genuine. Consumers should therefore verify a firm independently rather than rely on contact information it provides. Anyone who deals with NV-Group would not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service to complain and would not be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme if the firm failed. The FCA says people should check a firm and its permission for the services they need using the FCA Firm Checker, and contact an authorised firm through the details listed there. People who believe they have been approached by an unauthorised firm can contact the FCA on 0800 111 6768 or use its contact form. The regulator also notes that some people who sent money to a scam account on or after 7 October 2024 may be covered by protections introduced by the Payment Systems Regulator.
