The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued a warning against a clone of Paysafe.

Clones are fraudulent entities that abuse the data (name, logo, address, etc) of authorized firms in order to resemble the licensed firms and lure customers more easily. Clones have nothing to do with the regulated firms despite the apparent resemblance they may try to achieve.

Clone firm details

Fraudsters are using the following details to scam people:

Scammers may give out other false details, including email addresses, telephone numbers, postal addresses and Firm Reference Numbers.

FCA authorised firm details

This is the genuine, authorised firm that the fraudsters are claiming to work for. It has no connection with the clone firm.

The correct details are:

Firm Name: Paysafe Financial Services Limited

Firm Reference Number: 900015

Address: 2 Gresham Street 1st Floor London, EC2V 7AD, UNITED KINGDOM

Telephone: +442076088460

Email: fcacontact@paysafe.com

If you deal with the clone, you won’t have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service if you want to complain.

You also won’t be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) if things go wrong. This means it’s unlikely you’d get your money back if the firm goes out of business.
