The UK’s FCA has lanched a tool for consumers to check whether an organisation is authorised to sell services:
https://www.fca.org.uk/consumers/fca-firm-checker
Not sure how helpful this will be as searching for say “Hargreaves” brings back over 20 matches. A search for “AJ Bell” and “A J Bell” return widely different results. Results also include *unauthorised* firms with similar names: organisations called exactly “Hargreaves Landsdown” and “AJ Bell” are stated as being unauthorised.

Reported losses exceed 200M rubles, and researchers continue to track increasingly advanced NFCGate variants used in financial fraud across multiple regions.
What detection or policy mechanisms do you think can most effectively limit the misuse of open-source NFC tooling?

🚨 WARNING: TraderKnows Scam
TraderKnows is operating as a dangerous "Ghost Entity" targeting financial firms. Investigations reveal:
❌ No Physical Address (Violates HK Law) ❌ No Regulatory License ❌ No Company Registration
They use a "dual-faced" tactic: hosting fake negative reviews to extort fees for removal. Do NOT trust their "neutrality." It is a pay-to-play trap.
Protect your business. Verify before you trust.
