What does this mean?

  • Christopher Neil Ltd (FRN 1045414) is an AR of Ingeni Services Group Limited (FRN 747381). When you use Christopher Neil's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Christopher Neil, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
  • Before you proceed, confirm contact details match the official FCA register for both firms. Scammers sometimes clone legitimate AR names and FRNs but use fake phone numbers and websites.

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.
