ARGOFINANCE Review

About ARGOFINANCE

ARGOFINANCE operates without authorisation from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority. The FCA issued a warning on 21 August 2024 (first published) and updated on 20 March 2025 stating that “This firm may be providing or promoting financial services or products without our permission. You should avoid dealing with this firm and beware of scams.” The firm is identified as ARGOFINANCE, with address at 17 Portland Place, London, W1B 1PU, mobile number +44 7479 189238, email support@argofinance.org, and websites www.argofinance.co.uk and argofinance.org (). The warning was reiterated or newly published on 26 June 2025 concerning www.argofinance.org, confirming it remains unauthorised, and clarifying that clients would not be covered by the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme; payments sent after 7 October 2024 may be covered by Payment Systems Regulator protections ().

The domain argofinance.org was registered on 29 August 2024, just under one year before its renewal date of 29 August 2025; WHOIS data is privacy-protected through Super Privacy Service LTD via Dynadot, with redacted owner details and a server hosted by OVH in Canada (). ScamAdviser assigns the site a very low trust score, noting its young age, hidden registration, and general indicators of a high-risk or potentially fraudulent operation ().
