The watchdog said that people who lost money wouldn’t have access to compensation if they were scammed because he wasn’t regulated by the body.
‘POUND SHOP TATE’
The regulator stated: “This firm may be providing or promoting financial services or products without our permission.
“You should avoid dealing with this firm and beware of scams.
“Almost all firms and individuals must be authorised by us to carry out or promote financial services in the UK. This firm is not authorised by us and may be targeting people in the UK.
“Some firms may give incorrect contact details, including postal addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses.
“They may change these contact details over time. They may also give you details that belong to another business or individual, so the information looks genuine,” the website continues.
“If you deal with this firm, you won’t have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service if you have a complaint.
“You also won’t be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) if things go wrong. This means it’s unlikely you’d get your money back if the firm goes out of business.”

He has now dodged paying the full cost of the plane chartered by police to bring him back to the UK from Spain.
The internet star, real name Harrison Sullivan, 24, was handed a suspended prison sentence in November after crashing his McLaren in Virginia Water, Surrey, in March 2024.
after the crash, travelling to Dubai, Thailand and Spain and continuing to make social media content, the court previously heard.
District judge Julie Cooper ruled just weeks ago that she was not prepared to order the social media influencer to repay all of the flight costs because the use of a private jet was “not necessary or proportionate”.
FLIGHT FEE
The judge ordered Sullivan to pay £9,270 in prosecution costs, and £8,050.27 in police costs – bringing the total bill to £17,320.27.
Surrey Police spent around £15,000 on a chartered flight from Spain to bring him back to the UK, a hearing at Staines Magistrates’ Court was told.
The total costs to both Surrey Police and the Crown Prosecution Service to bring Sullivan back to the UK in August reached £28,350.27, the hearing was told.
Prosecution Kane Alexander, however, told the judge there were concerns that Sullivan be recognised by members of the public on a commercial plane.
“It seems that Mr Sullivan travels around on planes with impunity without too much risk to himself, so I don’t really understand,” Judge Cooper said.
“In my view, it is not just or reasonable for him to pay a chartered flight when I have been given no satisfactory explanation for why that should be.”
She added: “I can understand that there would be some issues with social media.
“But the problem could have been resolved or reduced had first-class flight been obtained to place the defendant in that area, so he was not in view of members of the public whilst in handcuffs.”

Defence solicitor Shalin Sood told the judge Sullivan was “surprised by the private jet” and was “completely calm and compliant” while in police custody.
Referring to the costs incurred throughout the investigation, which the court heard required partnership with foreign agencies including Interpol, Sood added: “It’s not rocket science trying to locate where Mr Sullivan is, judge – he livestreams every day.”
Sullivan was handed a one-year suspended prison sentence at Staines Magistrates’ Court in November last year to dangerous driving and driving without insurance.
The social media star has also been disqualified from driving for two years.
