The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued a warning against the Financial Services Monitoring Authority (FSMA) which presents itself as a regulator on its website www.fsma.org.uk and in emails. The fake FSMA offers various licenses for financial services and claims that it would also monitor these licensees as a regulator. The website is so ridiculous that no one should fall for it. Many scammers use such fake regulators to give themselves the appearance of respectability. Some companies and names are also registered as licensed in the FSMA registry.
