FCA Issues Scam Alerts on 8 Unauthorised Financial Firms
Abstract：The FCA has issued new warnings against a series of unauthorised firms targeting UK investors. Learn how to identify and avoid financial scams with practical tips to protect your assets.
New FCA Scam Warning: 8 Firms Operating Without Authorisation
The UKs Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued a new round of scam warnings, flagging eight entities offering financial services without proper authorisation. Investors are urged to exercise caution when dealing with these firms, as they are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or the Financial Ombudsman Service.
1.Nicessence Capital Ventures
- Website: nicessencecapitalventures.com
- Email: support@nicessencecapitalventures.com
- Address: Old Lynn Rd, Wiscech PE14 7AJ
This firm claims to offer investment services but lacks FCA authorisation.
2.Investmentco
- Website: investmentco.live
- Email: info@investmentco.live
- Address: 20-22 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU
Appears to be impersonating a legitimate entity using a common business address.
3. Vlex Global
- Website: vlexglobal.com
- Emails: info@vlexglobal.com, support@vlexglobal.com
- Address: Same as Investmentco
Operating under multiple aliases and offering unlicensed financial products.
4.Tralypt Options
- Website: tralyptoptions.live
- Email: info@tralyptoptions.live
- Address: Same as Investmentco
Repeated use of shared address raises red flags for fraud.
5. Fineco Investments
- Website: mine-interest.online
- Email: support@finecoinvestments.com
- Address: 19 Great Winchester Street, London EC2N 2JA
- Phone: 07908713583
Not related to the legitimate Fineco Bank; consumers are advised to beware of clone firms.
6.Deribit / Deribit.com
- Website: deribit.com
- Email: support@deribit.com
- Phone: +31620196481
- Socials: Listed across Google Play, Apple App Store, X, Telegram, YouTube, Reddit
Despite brand recognition, this Deribit is not FCA-authorised and may mislead users through broad social media presence.
7.View World
- Website: view-world.com
- Email: support@view-world.com
- Addresses: Lansdowne House, Berkeley Square, London & 74 Horsefair Green, Old Shields
Falsely presents itself as a regulated investment service.
8.Quanntifyequity / FUNDIXCHAIN
- Website: fundixchain.com
- Email: support@quantifyequity.com
- Address: 3 London Bridge St, London, SE1 9SG
Possibly using blockchain buzzwords to lure crypto investors into fraudulent schemes.
What Does This Mean for Investors?
These firms are not authorised by the FCA and are therefore not legally permitted to offer financial services in the UK. Dealing with unauthorised firms carries a high risk: if something goes wrong, victims may not be able to recover their funds through official compensation channels.
How to Stay Safe
To protect your assets:
- Verify brokers through trusted sources like the WikiFX Broker Checker
- Avoid platforms not listed as authorised
- Be cautious of cloned firms impersonating licensed entities
- Review official warnings regularly to stay informed
Final Note
Scam brokers often evolve their tactics, including changing contact information or using multiple websites. Always double-check the legitimacy of any investment opportunity—especially when returns seem too good to be true.
