The FSA issues alerts about firms and individuals based both overseas and in the UK when there are grounds to suspect that they are offering UK consumers and investors financial services or products without the necessary authorisation from the FSA or overseas EEA regulators.

The FSA also endeavours to publish, where possible, notices and warnings from other countries.

The FSA issues warnings about firms and individuals as soon as we have knowledge about them. Our lists are, therefore, continuously updated and are never complete.

For a full list of firms and individuals who are authorised to conduct regulated activities, please take a look at the FSA Register.

Investors should be aware that if they put their money with unauthorised firms they will not get the benefit of the UK compensation and complaint schemes.

If you have been contacted by an unauthorised overseas firm, it would be of assistance to the FSA if you would provide some information on your dealings with that firm by completing our on-line reporting form.

The FSA would also encourage you to report the matter to the City of London Police's Operation Archway, the national reporting system for boiler room fraud.
