FCA Warns Against Unauthorised Firm spacexcapitalsecuredinvestmentcompany.com

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has warned consumers against dealing with spacexcapitalsecuredinvestmentcompany.com, an unauthorised firm that may be offering or promoting financial services or products in the United Kingdom. The regulator says the firm does not have its permission to conduct regulated financial activity and may be targeting people in the UK. The warning lists the firm’s address as 88 Financial District, London, EC2M 4YP, along with the telephone number 7887221786, the email address [email protected], and the website https://spacexcapitalsecuredinvestmentcompany.com/. The FCA cautions that unauthorised firms can provide incorrect or changing contact details, including addresses, phone numbers and email addresses. They may also use details belonging to another business or individual to appear genuine. Consumers who deal with the firm would not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service to pursue a complaint. They would also lack protection from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) if the firm failed, meaning recovering money could be unlikely if the business went out of operation. People who sent money to a fraudster on or after 7 October 2024 may have protections introduced by the Payment Systems Regulator, depending on the circumstances and payment involved. The FCA advises consumers to use its Firm Checker before dealing with any financial business, confirming that the firm is authorised and permitted to provide the specific services offered. Anyone contacted unexpectedly should reply only through contact details listed on the Firm Checker. Suspected approaches from an unauthorised firm can be reported to the FCA on 0800 111 6768 or through its contact form.
