Data

The numbers we hold

Every figure on this page is a count of records in our own archive — warnings we have ingested, decisions we have logged, stories we have published. Nothing here is modelled or estimated, and none of it describes the scale of fraud in the UK as a whole.

How many warned firms copy an authorised one

Clone firms use the name or details of a genuine, authorised business.

0
  • Clone of an authorised firm0
  • Not recorded as a clone0

Based on how the entry itself is recorded. Firms not marked as clones may still imitate a real business.

    How to read these numbers

    • They count our records, not the world. A rise in entries can mean more listings were published, not that more fraud happened.
    • Nothing is estimated. If we do not hold it, it is not on this page — there are no projections or modelled figures anywhere on this site.
    • Every underlying record is public. Open the warnings archive or the ombudsman decisions and check any of it yourself.
    • Being listed is not proof of a crime. A Warning List entry means the regulator says the firm may be operating without authorisation.
