What the regulator published

Website given by the regulator: https://beta-investments.com/. This website appears to impersonate Beta Investing Pty Ltd, a genuine firm that has nothing to do with this website.
A clone firm copies the name, address or reference number of a genuine firm that is, or was, authorised, so that it looks legitimate. The genuine firm has nothing to do with it.
