The FCA warns about fraudulent Trading 212 clone firms, urging investors to avoid scams and check legitimate details.
Key Points:
The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has today issued an urgent warning regarding a fraudulent clone of the authorized trading platform Trading 212. Furthermore, the clone firm is using deceptive tactics to lure unsuspecting investors and take advantage of their personal information.
Clone firms are illegal entities that impersonate legitimate companies by using their branding, website, logo, and other details to mislead potential victims. So, these scams have no affiliation with the genuine, licensed firms they claim to represent.
The fraudsters are presenting themselves under the name “212 Europe Limited,” or variations including “212 Europe Limited UK Ltd” and “212 Europe Limited Ltd.” They are also using the email addresses trader-euro@spdok.com and the website https://www.ma212.com/#/1 to trick people into believing they are engaging with the genuine Trading 212.
In contrast, the FCA assures the public that the real, authorized firm behind Trading 212 is Trading 212 UK Limited, which holds Firm Reference Number 609146. The legitimate firm operates from Aldermary House, 10-15 Queen Street, London, EC4N 1TX, and can be contacted at info@trading212.com. The correct website is www.trading212.com, and their customer support telephone number is +44 0203 857 1320.
The FCA advises investors to avoid dealing with a fraudulent clone firm because it will not protect transactions through the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). This means that if the clone firm were to collapse, customers would have little chance of recovering their funds.
The FCA urges investors to always verify the authenticity of any firm before engaging in financial transactions and to report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
