Alert Issued on: 07/03/2024

Details of the Clone Firm:

• Name: admiralgreenissue.com (Clone of FCA Authorised Firm)

Please be aware that a fraudulent firm, admiralgreenissue.com, is impersonating an FCA authorised firm, attempting to deceive individuals by presenting itself as legitimate. This type of scam is known as a “clone firm,” where scammers use the details of a genuine, authorized firm to convince people that they represent a legitimate company.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK requires all firms and individuals that carry out or promote financial services to be authorized. The clone firm admiralgreenissue.com is not authorized and has been contacting people, misrepresenting them as an FCA-authorised firm, Admiral Insurance Company Limited.

• Firm Reference Number: 219824
• Address: Ty Admiral, David Street, Cardiff, South Glamorgan, CF10 2EH, UNITED KINGDOM
• Telephone: +447882849490
• Email: trevor.nicholson@admiralgroup.co.uk

Scammers may provide false details such as email addresses, telephone numbers, postal addresses, and Firm Reference Numbers. They may mix these fraudulent details with genuine details of authorized firms and change their contact information over time to avoid detection.

If you have been contacted by admiralgreenissue.com or have engaged with them under the pretense that they are the legitimate Admiral Insurance Company Limited, please come forward and share your story. Any information you provide, such as email correspondence, telephone numbers given, or addresses used, can be invaluable for OSINT investigations and to prevent further scams.
