Warning: Website misusing the name of Wealth Recovery Solicitors
9 June 2025
A website was operating that had cloned Wealth Recovery Solicitors’ website misusing the names of the employees at Wealth Recovery Solicitors.
What is the scam?
A website is operating at 'www.fc-helpline.org' which misuses the details of a genuine firm of solicitors (see below).
It is understood that the genuine firm's website was cloned.
Any business or transaction through the website 'www.fc-helpline.org' or the domain '@fc-helpline.org' is not undertaken by a firm or solicitor authorised and regulated by the SRA.
Is there a genuine firm or person?
The SRA authorises and regulates a genuine firm of solicitors called Wealth Recovery Solicitors Limited.
The genuine firm's website is www.wealthrecovery.co.uk. The firm uses the email domain 'wealthrecovery.co.uk'.
The genuine firm Wealth Recovery Solicitors has confirmed that it does not have any connection to the scam referred to above.
What should I do?
When a firm's or individual's identity has been copied exactly (or cloned), due diligence is necessary. If you receive correspondence claiming to be from the above firm(s) or individual(s), or information of a similar nature to that described, you should conduct your own due diligence by checking the authenticity of the correspondence by contacting the law firm directly by reliable and established means. You can contact the SRA to find out if individuals or firms are regulated and authorised by the SRA and verify an individual's or firm's practising details. Other verification methods, such as checking public records (e.g. telephone directories and company records) may be required in other circumstances.
