CMLC Ltd at cmlcltd.uk was marketed as a trading and investment firm, but the site now meets visitors with a bot check that keeps its pages out of plain view. On 2 November 2026 the UK Financial Conduct Authority added CMLC Ltd to its public warning list. A flagged firm that also hides its content is two warning signs in one.
What the FCA said about CMLC Ltd
The FCA notice names CMLC Ltd with the website cmlcltd.uk and says the firm is not authorised by it and may be targeting people in the United Kingdom. The regulator is clear on the cost. Deal with an unauthorised operator and you have no access to the Financial Ombudsman Service for a dispute, and no cover from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme if the money is lost. A gate at the front door adds no protection behind it.

A gate in front of the content
Legitimate firms do not need to hide their homepage from visitors and search engines. The bot gate on cmlcltd.uk is often used to show one version of a site to regulators and another to targeted victims. When a firm that the FCA has named also works this hard to control who sees what, treat everything it tells you with suspicion.
What to do if you funded CMLC Ltd
Act quickly. Tell your bank or card provider you paid an unauthorised firm and ask about a chargeback or a recall. Keep the deposit receipts, the account page, the chat messages and any wallet addresses, because those details are what an investigator follows. Report the firm to the FCA and to your local police or cybercrime unit. Treat any later offer to recover your funds for a fee as a second scam, because no honest agency charges a victim upfront.
CMLC Ltd brings together a dated FCA warning and a site that hides behind a bot gate. That is not how a trustworthy firm behaves. If CMLC Ltd reached you, report it to ReclaimDC so the next person is warned in time.
