  • Birdline UK Ltd (FRN 957550) introduces customers to Brooks Braithwaite (Sussex) Limited (FRN 304839). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Birdline UK.
  • Example: if Birdline UK refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Birdline UK itself.

Identity

Check their details

Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.
