shardcreditpartners.uk (Clone of FCA firms) (new)
Why this matters
The document is a consumer alert about a clone of two authorised firms (Shard Capital AIFM LLP and Shard Credit Partners Ltd) that is actively using their identities. It concerns consumer protection and the importance of checking authorisation. The text does not identify a specific service line, so sector is General and firm type is All Firms. Urgency is high because an active scam is being run, and the warning gives consumers immediate steps to take.
