Unregistered, unsolicited, and unlawfully seeking deposits — the NexusX Team scam rehashes the WhatsApp recruitment fraud playbook with a new alias and the same financial trap. To assess the legitimacy of NexusX, we ran checks with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) and confirmed that while there is a company called Nexus X registered in South Africa, there is no link between that entity and the scam recruiting under this name. The NexusX scam is a rebranded iteration of a scam structure that has been running rampant across South Africa this year.
