Fraud, Scams, And Deceptive Practices
This policy aims to protect individuals and businesses from fraudulent schemes that deceive people into providing money, personal data, or valuable assets under false pretenses. Nexus actively removes deceptive content designed to manipulate users for financial or personal gain, including scams that misrepresent products, services, or investment opportunities. Fraud often involves false claims, stolen information, or exaggerated promises, and this policy is structured to combat these tactics. While content exposing scams, raising awareness, and condemning fraudulent activities is allowed, any material that promotes, facilitates, or engages in fraud is strictly prohibited.
Prohibited Conduct:
Any content that deceives individuals or businesses for financial or personal gain is removed. This includes schemes that encourage users to send money under false pretenses, misleading investment opportunities, or identity-based fraud that exploits trust for financial advantage.
Loan Fraud And Scams:
Any loan offer that requires an advance payment for approval is prohibited. Claims of guaranteed loan approvals, including those that promise funding without verifying creditworthiness, are considered deceptive and will be removed. To ensure legitimacy, only verified financial institutions are allowed to post content regarding lending services.
Gambling Fraud:
Content promoting real-money gambling with a promise of guaranteed winnings is not allowed. Any admission of rigging gambling outcomes or soliciting others to engage in match-fixing violates this policy. Gambling-related promotions must not mislead users into believing outcomes can be manipulated for financial gain.
Investment Fraud:
Deceptive investment offers that claim to provide risk-free returns or guarantee profits are strictly prohibited. Any opportunity where compensation depends on recruiting others to participate, including pyramid schemes, will be removed. Get-rich-quick schemes that imply small investments will yield large returns without legitimate financial backing are not allowed.
Money Laundering And Money Muling:
Content encouraging users to transfer money on behalf of third parties under misleading pretenses is not allowed. Any offer that involves employment where the primary duty is receiving and redistributing funds will be removed. Soliciting, facilitating, or participating in money laundering, including the use of banking networks to disguise illegal funds, is a serious violation.
Identity-Based Deception:
Fraud that misrepresents identity is removed. Fake charitable solicitations requesting urgent donations with false claims of legitimacy are not permitted. Romance scams that attempt to establish relationships for financial exploitation will be removed. Any claim to represent a business or official entity without proper authorization will be taken down.
Misleading Offers And Fake Rewards:
False promises of government grants or financial aid from official agencies are prohibited. Spiritual or supernatural scams that demand money in exchange for wealth, protection, or mystical services are not allowed. Insurance scams that offer heavily discounted policies in exchange for upfront fees, without legitimate backing, violate this policy.
Job Fraud:
Employment offers that guarantee jobs or require advance fees to secure a position are deceptive and will be removed. Work-from-home opportunities that contradict job descriptions or promise unrealistic earnings with minimal effort are not allowed.
Debt And Credit Fraud:
Content promising to erase or significantly reduce debt within a set timeframe is not allowed. False claims about government programs or new laws that offer blanket debt forgiveness violate this policy. Services that claim to create a new credit identity or remove legitimate credit history will be removed.
Fake Documents And Counterfeits:
Fraud involving the sale, trade, or solicitation of fake identification, passports, visas, or government documents is strictly prohibited. Any offer guaranteeing approval of visas or residency permits without meeting legal requirements is considered fraudulent. The sale of counterfeit currency, unless clearly identified as novelty or board-game money, is not allowed.
Stolen Information And Unauthorized Access:
Any attempt to buy, sell, or trade stolen credit card details, hacked accounts, or other sensitive personal information is a violation. Subscription fraud, including unauthorized access to paid services by trading or selling login credentials, will be removed.
Fake Reviews And Ratings:
Manipulating online reviews by offering financial incentives in exchange for positive ratings is considered deceptive. Any effort to buy, sell, or trade fake reviews to influence business reputations is prohibited.
Device And Digital Content Manipulation:
Content that promotes physical tampering with measurement devices to manipulate pricing is not allowed. The sale or promotion of modified devices that enable unauthorized access to subscription services, streaming platforms, or digital content is prohibited.
Health-Related Deception:
False health claims designed to exploit individuals seeking medical treatments or weight loss solutions will be removed. Misleading promotions that guarantee specific health outcomes without scientific backing are not permitted.
Enforcement And Restrictions:
Content that has been reported by trusted consumer protection entities for fraud will be reviewed and removed. Deceptive legal advertisements that impersonate government agencies or mislead individuals into participating in lawsuits will not be allowed. Any content falsely offering vaccinations or medical services for financial gain violates this policy.
Individuals or groups that use multiple accounts to engage in coordinated fraudulent activities will face permanent removal.
Limited Exceptions:
Content aimed at exposing scams, educating the public, or condemning fraudulent behavior is allowed, provided it does not inadvertently promote fraudulent techniques. Satirical content must clearly indicate that it is mocking fraudulent practices rather than endorsing them.
Amendments:
This policy may be updated at any time to reflect evolving threats and fraudulent tactics. Any revisions take effect immediately upon posting. For questions or clarifications regarding compliance and enforcement, contact legal@nexus.realestate. Each section of this policy is integral to understanding how fraud, scams, and deceptive practices are identified, prevented, and addressed, and should not be summarized or altered in a way that misrepresents its intent.
