FSA Info Required

Hi

I am currently investigating a company that I believe is trying to scam people out of money.

The company in question is set up as a UK Ltd company and is registered with Company House.

They claim that they can return 50% profit on a members investment after 75 days. Now, I know that this is a Ponzi/Pyramid scheme and I will bring them down one way or another.

My question however:

Does a company that claims to deal in investments have to be regulated by the FSA??

Many Thanks

Hi there

I handle endowment mis-selling claims and deal with the FSA on a regular basis.

My personal understanding is that any firm advising on or selling investment products should be registered with the Financial Services Authority.

Hope this helps.

Simon

Forgot to say, you can find out more information here on the FSA's website: http://www.fsa.gov.uk/

Hope this helps.
