Firm Check — is this company on a regulator warning list?
Firm Check is a free lookup that searches the names and aliases on 8 official regulator warning lists for the firm or website you type, and shows each regulator’s own listing with its source.
Each entry is a public warning issued by the named regulator, quoted with its official source — not an allegation by ScamEncyclopedia. Impersonation entries name the genuine firm whose identity was cloned; the genuine firm is not the subject of the warning.
How to read a result
Impersonation alert. A regulator reports that a scam operation has been using a genuine firm’s name. The genuine firm named in the result is the victim whose identity was cloned — it is not the subject of the warning.
Fictitious regulator. The listed entity presents itself as a government agency or international body that does not exist. There is no genuine firm to protect, but it is still not a warning about a real firm’s own conduct.
On a regulator warning list. The regulator has warned about this entity itself — for example as unauthorised, unregistered, or soliciting without permission.
In every case, absence from these lists is not a clean bill of health — check the official register of your own country’s regulator before dealing with any firm.
