What should I do?

When a firm's or individual's identity has been copied exactly (or cloned), due diligence is necessary.

You can contact the SRA to find out if individuals or firms are regulated and authorised by the SRA and verify an individual's or firm's practising details. Other verification methods, such as checking public records (e.g. telephone directories and company records) may be required in other circumstances.
