FCA ScamSmart – Protect Yourself from Financial Scams

At Orchard Mortgage Solutions, your safety comes first. That’s why we support FCA ScamSmart – a campaign by the Financial Conduct Authority to help you avoid mortgage and investment scams.

What is ScamSmart?

ScamSmart is a free FCA resource that helps you:

• Check if a firm is authorised
• Spot common scam warning signs
• Report suspicious activity
• Stay informed about financial fraud

Why It Matters

Scammers often pose as mortgage brokers or lenders, offering deals that seem too good to be true. Using an unauthorised firm can put your money at risk and leave you without FCA protection.

Stay Safe

• Always check firms on the FCA Register
• Use the FCA ScamSmart site to verify any suspicious offers
• Don’t rush into decisions or share personal details with unknown contacts
