London Bridge LB2 PCC Ltd (clone of an FCA authorised firm)

What Is This Scam?

This is a clone firm scam in which fraudsters impersonate a legitimate, FCA-authorised financial services company. The scammers operate under the name "London Bridge 2 PCC Ltd" using fake contact channels including the website www.londonbridge2pcc.com and email address [email protected]. Clone firms are designed to deceive consumers into believing they are dealing with a regulated entity when in fact they are interacting with unauthorised criminals. These scams typically target individuals seeking financial services, investment opportunities, or corporate dealings who assume they are engaging with a legitimate regulated firm.

Who Are They Impersonating?

The scammers are impersonating the genuine London Bridge 2 PCC Ltd, a protected cell company (PCC) that is properly authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The legitimate firm operates from Lloyd's of London, located at 1 Lime Street, London, EC3M 7HA, United Kingdom. The genuine company holds FCA authorisation under Firm Reference Number 978891. According to regulatory sources, London Bridge 2 PCC Ltd is a legitimate entity that was established in August 2022 as a protected cell company structure designed to facilitate capital raising through cell sponsorship arrangements.

Evidence & Regulatory Action

The Financial Conduct Authority has issued an official warning confirming that this clone operation is not authorised by the FCA. The regulatory alert, published on October 29, 2024, explicitly states: "This firm is not authorised by us but has been contacting people pretending to be an authorised firm." The FCA classifies this as a clone firm, a recognised form of fraud where criminals exploit the reputation and legitimacy of authorised companies.

Additional confirmation comes from independent financial intelligence sources. Traders Union reported in February 2026 that the FCA has issued a warning about this specific clone operation. Multiple contact numbers associated with the scam have been documented, including 02082260176, 02034882941, and 02034883672.
