shardcreditpartners.uk: Clone of a London Investment Firm

shardcreditpartners.uk: Clone of a London Investment Firm

shardcreditpartners.uk is a fake website that borrows the name and contact details of a genuine London-based investment firm to offer a "private credit fund" investment. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) added this domain to its clone firm warning list on 30 October 2026.

In short: shardcreditpartners.uk is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK) and imitates a genuine FCA-authorised firm. The investor is led to believe they are dealing with a well-known institution and is steered towards a money transfer. In clone cases of this kind, legal routes are available.

🎭 How Is the Clone Site Put Together?

In clone schemes, fraudsters mix the name, register number and even the real telephone number of an authorised company with their own fake contact channels. The investor then thinks they have "verified" the company in the regulatory records. The same method works in clone sites of brokerages and banks.

The imitated Shard Capital AIFM LLP and Shard Credit Partners Ltd are genuine, FCA-authorised companies; they have no connection with this site.

🔍 The Contact Details in the FCA Warning

  • Website: shardcreditpartners.uk, registered in December 2025; browsers open it with a "suspected phishing" warning.
  • Email: [email protected] and [email protected]
  • Note: the FCA states that a clone may also use the real company's telephone number.

🔗 Other Platforms Using the Same Method

Is shardcreditpartners.uk the website of the real Shard Capital?

No. The FCA has listed this domain as a clone of the genuine Shard companies; the real companies have no connection with this site.

Is finding the company in the FCA register enough?

No. Clone sites use a real register number; for investment services in Türkiye the only valid check is the SPK list of authorised institutions, and this site is not authorised by the SPK.
