NomineeWorks / Nominee360 Warning: Paid in USDT, No Company Setup, No Documents, No Refund
I am posting this as a factual warning based on my own experience with NomineeWorks / Nominee360.
I dealt with them through:
NomineeWorks (nomineeworks.com)
Nominee360 (nominee360.com)
Telegram: @nominee_360
Email: verified support email address of nomineeworks.com published on their website
Email: verified info email address of nominee360.com published on their website.
They represented that they could provide UK company formation, nominee director services, KYC support, proof-of-address documents, bank statements, selfie verification, proof-of-funds documents and business bank account support.
In the Telegram discussion, they told me they could provide a “full service” nominee, provide required documents for KYC, utility bills, bank statements, selfie verification and proof-of-funds documents. They also stated that every piece of documentation would be verifiable. I asked them for sample documentation and they mentioned given the confidential nature of these documents they cannot share them before the order. They also said these documents would be made available immediately after payment.
They then issued Invoice under:
A & N SOLUTIONS LTD (Company number: 15720733)
The invoice described the services as:
UK Company Formation + Administration Service 12 months
Full Nominee services - KYC - Business Bank accounts
Registered Address - UK Number eSim
The invoice requested payment in USDT. As soon as I made the payment however, the tone changed - they came up with constant excuses - this is a complicated process, this takes time etc. etc.
After payment, I did not receive the promised company setup, nominee/UBO documentation, bank/KYC documentation, proof-of-funds documentation, receipt, or refund. They stopped responding entirely after a day.
Based on Companies House searches and the information connected to the websites / invoice / related filings, I found the following entities and names connected to this matter, which I am including in my law-enforcement and regulatory reports:
A & N SOLUTIONS LTD — Company No. 15720733
Public filings show Joseph Alexander Hawkins and Nicole Hawkins as officers/directors.

I am sharing my direct experience and the public company/entity trail I found so that other people can be extremely careful before sending cryptocurrency or sensitive documents to anyone operating through these websites, Telegram accounts, emails, invoices, wallets, or connected company names.
I have preserved the invoice, Telegram chat export, email trail, screenshots, wallet address, transaction hashes and Companies House records. I am reporting this to law enforcement, Companies House / UK company complaint channels, crypto abuse platforms, review platforms and other relevant authorities.
My advice: stay as far away as possible from NomineeWorks / Nominee360 or any connected entity in crypto.
