FCA Warns That Fairmont International Consultancy LLC Is Not Authorised

The Financial Conduct Authority added Fairmont International Consultancy LLC to its Warning List on September 28. The regulator says the firm is not authorised or registered by the FCA and may be providing or promoting financial services or products without permission.

The FCA said the firm may be targeting people in the UK and advised consumers to avoid dealing with it and to remain alert to scams. The warning lists the firm’s website as https://fairmontinternationalconsultancy.com/ and gives a New York address, telephone number and email contact. The regulator cautions that unauthorised firms may provide inaccurate or changing contact details, or use details that belong to another business or individual.

The entry is a warning about the firm’s regulatory status. It does not establish the terms of any particular offer. Traders evaluating a platform or financial-service provider should independently check whether the specific legal entity named in the customer agreement is authorised for the claimed activity, instead of relying on web presentation or contact information.

Why it matters

The FCA says customers who deal with an unauthorised firm may not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service or Financial Services Compensation Scheme protection. That makes regulatory verification a necessary step before a trader deposits money, transfers securities or provides personal documents.

What to watch next

Monitor the FCA Warning List and Firm Checker for changes. Anyone contacted unexpectedly should verify the entity and contact details through official sources, and use the FCA’s reporting process if they suspect an unauthorised financial-services approach.
