Issue abstract: Please add this scam website to your list

Detailed description: I have been badly scammed (losing much of my pension) by an outfit called firstnexus.pro, previously firstnexus.io (they keep changing the suffix, presumably to keep ahead of the bad reviews, and of course law enforcement). The website gives a London address, but that too seems to be bogus.
I have reported them to the Australian Federal Police and FraudAction in the UK. According to Scamadviser they have a trust score of 1/100.
I have previously gone to websites and Norton pops up a message to the effect this is a known risky site. Could you please add any URL containing “firstnexus” to this list? Ignore the URL suffix because they keep changing it.
This isn’t a problem with Norton 360 per se.

Product & version number: 25.3.9983 (build 25.3.9983.925)

OS details: Windows 11.

What is the error message you are seeing? None - see note above.

If you have any supporting screenshots, please add them:

Unfortunately when I signed up to firstnexus (they were then firstnexus.io, now they are firstnexus.pro) your rating was ‘safe’.
I wish you had the Caution warning before. Would have saved me a lot of money.

As I wrote, they keep morphing in order to stay one step ahead. They are now firstnexus.pro, but in a couple of months (or less) it will be something else.
However when I go to firstnexus.pro now I still don’t get any Norton warnings.

I don’t know why you can’t reach it. I have just done so.

Norton Community is primarily user-to-user “working” product help.

And this is the problem for security companies trying to keep up with scammers. You have seen two examples of the website, and I’m sure there were more before your interaction with them and there will be more after this. It is like playing wac-a-mole.

All we can do as Norton users is to report the false negative rating for that page using the link bjm- posted above.

I managed to get firstnexus.pro shut down, but they name-changed to firstnexus.org the next day. Same people, same scam, just a different name.

Thanks, bjm. I have just left a less than flattering review. However in the past when I clicked on a dodgy link, Norton has intervened with a warning page.
I just went onto firstnexus.org and no such warning appeared. Is that right?
