We have received reports that fraudsters are using the name or other details of a genuine firm, or the ‘firm reference number’ (FRN) we give to authorised firms, to try to scam people in the UK.

This is what we call a 'cloned individual', and fraudsters are using this tactic to make their claims seem genuine or to suggest they work for an authorised firm.
