Verdict up front: Nexfen Growth is on ASIC’s Investor Alert List — not merely as an unlicensed operator, but classified as an Imposter, listed as an impersonation of the licensed Australian firm MEX Australia Pty Ltd. Its own website advertises fixed daily returns and a five-tier referral bonus, and names no regulator, licence number or company registration anywhere.
Verified evidence (checked 7 September 2026)
- ASIC has listed it, and as an imposter. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s Investor Alert List carries the entry “Impersonation of MEX Australia Pty Ltd (nexfengrowth.com)”, type Imposter, updated 2 September 2026. We confirmed this on moneysmart.gov.au directly, not through a third party.
- The site promises fixed daily returns. Its published plans are 1.00% every 24 hours (minimum $70), 3.50% every 24 hours (minimum $100) and 5.00% every 48 hours (minimum $750, maximum $99,999,999) — each marked “Capital back Yes”. No genuine trading operation can guarantee a daily percentage.
- Payment is tied to recruitment. Every plan lists affiliate bonuses across five referral levels, paying up to 30%. Returns funded by recruitment rather than trading is the defining structure of a pyramid scheme.
- No regulator, licence or company details appear on the site at all. We read the full homepage: there is no regulator named, no licence number, no company registration number and no registered address.
- Domain age: nexfengrowth.com was created 6 January 2026 (registrar TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown), roughly eight months ago — against a claimed 20,000+ investors and $100M+ in deposits. Sources: ASIC Moneysmart Investor Alert List; Verisign registry record; the platform’s own homepage, read 7 September 2026.
| Related Investigation An “Imposter” classification means a regulator believes the site is trading on a licensed firm’s identity. That is a heavier finding than unlicensed. |
Investors, Take Note A fixed daily percentage is not a return. Real markets do not pay 3.5% a day, and nothing that does is trading your money. |
Read This Before You Invest MEX Australia Pty Ltd is a real licensed firm. Being impersonated is not the same as being involved. |
What is Nexfen Growth?
A website at nexfengrowth.com offering “hash mining, blockchain networks and real estate” investment plans, registered eight months ago. It presents deposit tiers with fixed daily payouts, a referral programme, and a page of testimonials — one of them attributed to “Bruce Willis”, described as a corporate executive.
Why the imposter classification matters most
Most entries on ASIC’s alert list are marked Unlicensed. This one is marked Imposter, and named against a specific licensed firm: MEX Australia Pty Ltd. That is a different and more serious claim. It means the regulator’s assessment is that the site is presenting itself as, or borrowing the credentials of, a genuinely authorised business — which is precisely how a victim ends up checking a real licence number and believing they have verified a fake platform. MEX Australia Pty Ltd is the party being impersonated, not the operator.
The arithmetic does not work
Take the Standard Plan at face value: 3.5% every 24 hours, with capital returned. Compounded, that is not a high-yield investment; it is a number that cannot be produced by any market on earth for any sustained period. Set beside a five-level referral structure paying up to 30%, the shape becomes clear — money entering from new depositors, not from trading. We are describing the published terms, which anyone can read on the site today.
Check it for yourself
Nothing above depends on trusting us. Search the name on Google, ask ChatGPT, and run the register checks named in the evidence box. A regulator warning takes about a minute to confirm on the regulator’s own website, and that minute is the cheapest due diligence available to any investor.
For this platform specifically: search nexfengrowth on ASIC’s Investor Alert List at moneysmart.gov.au and read the entry yourself. Then open the platform’s investment plans page and look for a regulator name, a licence number or a company registration number — there is none.
If you have already deposited
Act on paper, not on hope. Save every screenshot, chat log, email, payment reference and wallet address before the platform can close your account — once access goes, so does your evidence. Report the loss to your national financial regulator and to your police force’s fraud unit. Tell your bank or card issuer immediately; where funds moved by card or transfer within recent weeks, a recall or chargeback is sometimes still possible. If you paid in cryptocurrency, the transaction cannot be reversed, but the receiving address is permanent evidence and exchanges can sometimes freeze onward movement.
Then brace for the second approach. Victims of investment fraud are frequently contacted again by people offering to recover the money for an upfront fee, sometimes posing as lawyers, regulators or the platform’s own compliance department. That is a second fraud aimed at the same victim. No legitimate recovery service, and no regulator anywhere, asks for a payment before returning your funds.
The bottom line
A regulator has published an alert naming this domain and classifying it as an impersonation of a licensed firm. Alongside that: an eight-month-old domain, guaranteed daily returns, five levels of referral commission and no licence details of any kind. Verify a licence number with the regulator that issued it before you deposit anywhere, and preserve your records if you already have.
