The fraudsters are predominantly based abroad, with the regulator pointing to Spain and the US as particular hotbeds of the criminals, who are often linked to organised crime.
A spokesman for the FSA said it carries out raids, froze assets and chased the money around the world but the nature of it makes it very hard to catch the fraudsters. The regulator estimates that the average boiler-room victim loses £20,000, based on the 1,000 victims who contacted it this year.
It is estimated that only 10 per cent of victims report the crime, it added. The FSA has recovered three other suckers lists this year.
