LW Management (Clone of FCA registered firm) (new)
Why this matters
The publication type is a warning. It names a specific clone firm, its contact details and websites, and the genuine firm it impersonates (Links Wealth Management Limited, a wealth manager). It flags active fraud against consumers, so urgency is high. It warns that dealing with the clone means no Financial Ombudsman Service access and no FSCS protection. The text does not address a broader rule change, so significance is low.
