GoTempCover Limited (Clone of FCA authorised firm) (new)
Why this matters
The FCA warns consumers that fraudsters are impersonating the authorised insurer Accelerant Insurance UK Limited (FRN 207658) under the name GoTempCover Limited, using cloned contact details and websites. The fraud and impersonation point to financial crime. The unauthorised status and lack of FOS and FSCS protection point to authorisation. The insurance sector comes from the cloned firm's business and the named authorised firm. Urgency is high because consumers may be paying a scam in progress, but the item sets no binding obligation.
