Recovery scam using name of UK Authority

We are aware that a New Zealand resident has been contacted by individuals claiming to represent the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and offering assistance to recover money lost in a previous scam.

The email address used is different to the email domains used by the FCA. The FCA advises on its website that they send emails from addresses ending in:

• fca.org.uk
• fcanewsletters.org.uk
• fcamails.org.uk

We are concerned that this is a recovery scam using the name of the FCA. We recommend caution when dealing with any individuals claiming to be from authorities offering to help recover money.
