A company called "Nexus Network" wrote to my personal email wanting long-term advice on "UK Regulatory Dynamics".
I've never heard of "UK Regulatory Dynamics". It's certainly not my field; I'm not sure it's anyone's field.
And Nexus Network looks rather "off".
The email gives Nexus's address as 20-22 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU, UK, but the Nexus website says it’s Aldwych House, London WC2A 2AZ. Neither email nor website gave the name of the company, which is (1) weird and (2) an offence.
The company is actually NexusPro Limited, which has the Aldwych House address.
It hasn’t registered under GDPR with Information Commissioner’s Office - again an offence. I don’t know what they're doing with my personal email address - another offence.
For three successive years, NexusPro Limited failed to file its accounts on time with Companies House, and only filed them after Companies House started the striking-off process.
They should be able to afford the £52 data protection fee, because it looks like they made c£200k of profit in 2024.
Its founder is an Ishwar Mahesh. His other two companies failed to file documents with Companies House and were struck off.
I asked Nexus Networks if they could respond to these concerns; I didn't receive a reply. But they did add their company name to the website.
I don't know if this is a complete scam, or merely a shady business, but either way: best avoided.

This doesn't mean the state pension is unaffordable, or that it's a Ponzi scheme - it's covered by taxation on a "pay as you go" basis in the same way as every other state pension scheme in the world.
Wealth tax advocates almost never deal with the actual objections to their proposal. There is good evidence that it will hit growth, employment and investment (particularly foreign investment).
Just announced: the UK's most famous libel firm, Carter-Ruck, is being prosecuted before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal for recklessly enabling a $4bn fraud
It's astonishing how reckless Carter-Ruck was - likely causing $$$ more to be lost to fraudsters
We then conducted a detailed investigation and legal analysis of what Carter-Ruck did, and what they should have known at the time. I'll summarise in this thread, but way more detail here: taxpolicy.org.uk/2023/12/18/car…
This is, of course, all completely barking. It's from Iain Clifford Stamp, a "sovereign citizen" scammer who was sentenced to twelve months imprisonment last month, for completely ignoring court orders. .judiciary.uk/judgments/comm…
In 2017, a new corporate criminal offence was created: failure to prevent tax evasion. It was meant to change everything.
Since then? Zero prosecutions.
Until now...
HMRC is prosecuting an accounting firm, Bennett Verby Ltd, for failure to prevent facilitation of UK tax evasion, contrary to section 45 of the Criminal Finances Act (2017).
It's connected with alleged Research and Development repayment fraud. Six individuals are also being prosecuted.
All due to appear at Manchester Crown Court (Crown Square) on August 7.
