What happened

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published a warning on 12 November 2026 that medicalnegligenceconsultants.site is a clone firm. The FCA lists the website medicalnegligenceconsultants.site and the telephone number +442037631799 (plus an email address) as details fraudsters are using. It says the firm is not authorised by the FCA and that the genuine authorised firm it copies, Flybell Limited, has no connection with it. Dealing with a clone firm means no Financial Ombudsman Service access and no FSCS protection. Source: https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/medicalnegligenceconsultantssite-clone-fca-authorised-firm

How the scam works

Impersonation schemes borrow a trusted name — a school, a police force, a bank, a well-known person or a regulator-registered firm — so that a message, a website or a phone number looks official. The real organisation is not involved and will not ask you to pay, log in or send money through a surprise link or an unlisted number. Look up the official contact details yourself and call or write there. If you have already paid or given personal information, contact your bank and report the incident to the police or your national cyber-crime service.

If a message, a page or a caller creates urgency about money, a login or a legal threat, pause and check the claim through a contact method you already trust. Keep screenshots, reference numbers and the exact addresses or phone numbers you were given, and tell your bank early if money has already left the account. Official brands and authorised firms named in a lure are not involved unless a primary source says otherwise.
