To illustrate: Basically, investors are offered One Thousand Three Hundred Percent (1,300%) interest per month or a total of Fifteen Thousand Six Hundred Percent (15,600%) interest annually . Based on the foregoing, the scheme of NEXTGEN and NOFACO involves the offering and sale of securities, in the form of investment contracts, to the public where investors are deemed investing in a common enterprise without the need to exert any effort other than to invest or place money in the said companies in order to earn.

Per record of the Commission, only NEXTGEN is registered as a corporation under Company Registration No. CS201431624 but is not authorized to undertake business activities requiring a secondary license from the Commission in accordance with Sections 8 and 28 of the SRC. NOFACO , on the other hand, has no record of prior registration and/or authorization from the Commission to likewise engage in the aforementioned purposes. The public is advised to exercise extreme caution in dealing with any individuals or group of persons acting or soliciting investments for and on behalf of NEXTGEN and NOFACO or any entities engaged in similar investment solicitation activities. The public must be wary that such dealings may be Ponzi schemes guised as investment contracts that promises ridiculous rates of return with little or no risk. Those who act as salesmen, brokers, dealers or agents of NEXTGEN and NOFACO in selling or convincing people to invest in the investment scheme being offered by these entities including solicitations and recruitment through the internet may likewise be prosecuted and held criminally liable under Section 28 of the SRC and penalized with a maximum fine of Five Million pesos (P5,000,000.00) or penalty of Twenty-one (21) years of imprisonment or both pursuant to Section 73 of the SRC. Also, those who invite or recruit others to join or invest in such venture or offer investment contracts or securities to the public may incur criminal liability, or otherwise be sanctioned or penalized accordingly as held by the Supreme Court in the case of Securities and Exchange Commission vs. Oudine Santos (G.R. No. 195542, 19 March 2014). The names of all those involved will also be reported to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) so that the appropriate penalties and/or taxes be correspondingly assessed.
