Arbion Assets / Arbion Assets Management (Clone of FCA authorised firm) (updated)
Why this matters
The FCA warns consumers that fraudsters are impersonating the authorised firm ARBION LIMITED (FRN 513138) under the name Arbion Assets. It lists active scam contact details and explains the loss of FOS and FSCS protection. The text does not specify an investment or other business line, so sector and firm type are general. Urgency is high because the scam is active and consumers may be defrauded, even though the item imposes no obligation on regulated firms.
