Pretty much anything that 'guarantees' up to 40% return and is 'FSCS backed' will be a scam. There's also a small possibility for it to be legitimate but with an enormous hidden risk. I note they don't say on the front page what they're investing in. I'd stay away if I were you, all you're really investing in is a shiny webpage.

How can it be FSCS protected when they're not even registered with the FCA. Obvious scam.

none of the links within the home page work for me(could be my browser)so guess they want to get you on the phone first for a little pep talk.But a max return sounds very much like the guaranteed plans offered by BS and insurance companies some years back so could be that but they have mainly been withdrawn over the last few years and can be read about why online.A post on MSE may bring up some knowledge of them but think the DIY fund picking maybe better

going right off topic - but if you have a kindle Amazon(and maybe other e-readers) have the Investment trust handbook 2019 for free download which while being positive about all things in IT's is still a good read for free advice on investing in general and maybe better for you

Wow. Thank you all. I thought it was too good to be true. Well done for reporting, wouldn't have occurred to me. Probably quite new as I've been searching for a few things.
Dare I say it, but they came high up on first page, in a search for cash isa.
