quorumcapitalltd.com (clone of FCA authorised firm) (new)
Why this matters
The FCA publishes a warning that the domain quorumcapitalltd.com is cloning the authorised firm Quorum Capital Limited (FRN 601037). It tells consumers the clone is unauthorised, that they would lose Financial Ombudsman Service and FSCS protection, and how to verify firms through the FCA Firm Checker. The text names no specific sector, so 'General' is used. Urgency is high because consumers face active fraud risk, and the warning asks them to take protective action. Authorisation & Licensing applies because the core issue is an unauthorised clone of an authorised firm. Consumer Protection / Conduct applies because the warning is aimed at consumers being scammed.
