How we checked this case: Exact domains and genuine-firm distinction checked against the FCA notice on 29 October 2026.
Three domains, one specific clone warning
LW Management is the name in an FCA clone warning dated 29 October 2026. The UK regulator says fraudsters are using details of a genuine authorised business to make their own offer look legitimate. This is stronger evidence than an anonymous review or a low website trust score.
The warning identifies lw-manage.info, lw-management.info and lw-mgmt.info. It also lists a London address at 27 Old Broad Street and a telephone number ending 421816 among the clone's details. The slightly different website spellings matter: recognising just the initials “LW” can lead someone to check the wrong business.
The article concerns these domains and the offer described in the FCA notice. It does not accuse every business called LW Management. Search results include unrelated businesses in other countries; their reviews and company registrations are not evidence about this clone.
The genuine firm is not the operator of these websites
The FCA identifies Links Wealth Management Limited, reference 1011435, as the genuine firm being impersonated. Its listed website is linkswealthmanagement.co.uk. The regulator explicitly says it has no connection with the clone.
This explains why finding a real financial registration is not the end of the check. A fraudster can copy a number, address or person's name from a public register. The question is whether the person contacting you and the exact website belong to that registered business.
Open the official FCA Firm Checker independently and use the contact details there. Do not rely on a link, certificate or telephone number sent by the person whose identity you are checking. If they claim to be a representative of the genuine firm, ask the genuine firm through its verified contact channel.
What the warning means for your money
For dealings with this clone, the FCA warns that the Financial Ombudsman Service and FSCS protection are not available in the way they would be for eligible dealings with an authorised firm. A logo or copied reference number on a sales document cannot create that protection.
That does not decide whether you have a separate complaint against a bank or payment provider. Payment remedies depend on the payment method, country, date and circumstances. Ask the provider to examine the actual transfer; do not assume that lack of FSCS protection means there is nothing to report.
The warning establishes impersonation. It does not state how much every customer paid or show that a particular withdrawal was refused. If your balance is inaccessible, preserve the account and transaction records so your own loss can be assessed separately.
If you contacted LW Management or sent money
- Stop further transfers. Do not pay another tax, verification fee or deposit merely to unlock a balance or prove your identity.
- Save the exact identity trail. Keep the full website address, emails, messages, contract, claimed licence, payment recipient and receipts. Include the withdrawal request and any new fee demand.
- Contact your bank or payment service promptly. Give it the FCA warning and explain which domain you dealt with. Ask about recall, dispute and fraud-reporting options. For crypto, provide the network, transaction hash and receiving address to the sending exchange.
- Report the impersonation. Use the FCA's official reporting route and the appropriate police or fraud-reporting service in your country. A regulator report and a request to your bank serve different purposes; keep both reference numbers.
- Secure any access you shared. End remote access, change compromised passwords from a trusted device and tell your bank if account details or codes were exposed.
Our broker-withdrawal guide explains how to put the timeline together. If someone now offers to retrieve the balance, check that new offer using our recovery-service guide. An approach made after a loss is not proof that the caller is connected to the authorities.

Alphavista Exchange

Alphavista Exchange advertised investment plans paying up to 300% per trade alongside instant withdrawals and insurance of up to $1 million. Its claimed authorisations were not matched to Alphavista in the CySEC and Seychelles FSA lists checked on 4 November 2026. These combined warning signs support our suspicion of possible fraud. Do not send money on the strength of these claims. The offer described here comes from indexed copies; the website did not open during the latest check.

FXJunction
fxjunction.com
FXJunction links traders to signal providers, but a broker account balance and FXJunction credits are different things. Its FAQ sets a $100 minimum for redeemable credits and excludes bonus credits. On 4 November 2026, the FAQ said providers keep 70%, or 80% for referred copiers, while the provider page promised 90%. Ask which terms apply to your account. This inconsistency and an old complaint justify scrutiny, but do not prove fraud.

HOS Broker / AtlasBrokerOption

HOS Broker searches lead to hosbroker.site, a trading page using several different names. Its withdrawal-policy link opens no policy, and its legal-page link returned an error. We consider these serious warning signs of possible fraud and would not deposit while the operator and withdrawal rules remain unclear.
