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.
