What happened

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published a warning on 10 November 2026 about LORGANDIR-LEECH ENTITY GROUP (website www.lorgandir-leech.com). The FCA says the firm may be providing or promoting financial services or products without its permission, is not authorised by the FCA and may be targeting people in the UK, and tells people to avoid dealing with it and beware of scams. The warning lists an address of 375 Park Avenue, New York, telephone +18456229006 and the website www.lorgandir-leech.com. The FCA notes that firms may give incorrect contact details or details belonging to another business, that anyone dealing with an unauthorised firm will not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service or FSCS protection, and that it is unlikely money would be recovered if things go wrong. People who think they have been approached by an unauthorised firm can contact the FCA on 0800 111 6768.

How the scam works

Unauthorised investment websites typically advertise high or guaranteed returns, often through social media ads, cold calls, emails or messaging apps. They may show a UK address, telephone numbers and a polished site. The FCA notes that firms may give incorrect contact details or details that belong to another business.

Because the firm is not authorised, anyone who deals with it will not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service or Financial Services Compensation Scheme protection, and the FCA says it is unlikely that money would be recovered if things go wrong. Check a firm on the FCA Register and the Warning List before sending money. People who think they have been approached by an unauthorised firm can contact the FCA on 0800 111 6768.
