Ramsey Lomax Ltd ramseylomaxltd.co.uk

What Is This Scam?

This alert concerns a clone firm scam in which fraudsters are using the name Ramsey Lomax Ltd and the domain ramseylomaxltd.co.uk. A clone firm is an operation that copies the identity details of a genuine, regulated business to appear legitimate. The intention is to convince consumers and investors that they are dealing with a properly authorised company when they are not.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK has issued a formal warning that ramseylomaxltd.co.uk is associated with a clone of an FCA-authorised firm. Any contact via this website or via the email address [email protected] should therefore be treated as suspicious and potentially fraudulent.

Consumers who deal with a clone firm do not benefit from regulatory protections or compensation schemes and face a high risk of losing any money they send or information they disclose.

Who Are They Impersonating?

The scammers are impersonating Ramsey Lomax Limited, a firm that is authorised and regulated by the FCA in the United Kingdom. By copying the legitimate firm's name and presenting themselves as if they are that authorised entity, the fraudsters attempt to create a false sense of security.

While Ramsey Lomax Limited is a real, regulated company, it is not connected to ramseylomaxltd.co.uk or to any approach made using [email protected]. The FCA has specifically identified this as a clone of an FCA-authorised firm, highlighting that the impostor is attempting to exploit the genuine firm's reputation and regulatory status.

If you are contacted by anyone claiming to be from Ramsey Lomax Limited, you should independently verify their details using the official contact information listed on the FCA Register and not rely on details given to you in an email, on a website you do not recognise, or over the phone.

Red Flags

• Use of the website ramseylomaxltd.co.uk, which has been named by the FCA as relating to a clone of an authorised firm.
• Emails sent from [email protected] claiming to represent an FCA-authorised business.
• Unsolicited contact offering financial services, investments, or debt-related services under the name Ramsey Lomax Ltd.
• Pressure to act quickly, transfer money, or provide identity documents before you have time to check the firm's details.
• Contact details that do not match those listed for the genuine Ramsey Lomax Limited on the official FCA Register.
• Reluctance or refusal to let you verify their authorisation status directly with the FCA or to use the official contact channels found through the FCA Register.

What To Do If You Have Been Contacted

If you have been approached by someone using the name Ramsey Lomax Ltd, the website ramseylomaxltd.co.uk, or the email address [email protected], you should treat the contact as suspicious. Do not transfer any money, do not sign any documents, and do not share personal or financial information until you have independently confirmed who you are dealing with.

Verify the firm's details on the FCA Register using contact information you find yourself, not details supplied in emails or on unfamiliar websites. Check that the phone numbers, email addresses, and web domains you have been given match those on the Register and be especially cautious if there are small differences in spelling or format.

If you believe you may have already given money or information to this clone firm, contact your bank or payment provider as soon as possible to explain the situation and ask if any payments can be stopped or reversed. You should also keep records of all communications, including emails and messages, in case they are needed by your bank or by law enforcement. Reporting your experience to the relevant authorities can help reduce the risk to other consumers.
