How to report it — step by step
The more victims report, the more likely an investigation becomes. This is not legal advice — for a formal complaint, consider a lawyer or the relevant authority.
Use a ready-made complaint template →- 1
Secure your evidence
Save everything with dates: screenshots of the dashboard and trade history, transaction hashes and wallet addresses, the amounts and dates you deposited, and the contact details of whoever recruited you.
- 2
Stop depositing and recruiting
Do not deposit more, and do not recruit anyone else. Recruiting creates new victims and can expose you to your own liability.
- 3
Report to the right authorities
File with the bodies listed below. Priority: Dubai (the operators are based there) and your own country of residence. Attach your evidence and reference the existing warnings.
- 4
Get the domain flagged
Report the domains to Google Safe Browsing and to ChainPatrol so browsers and crypto wallets warn other people. (ChainPatrol: chainpatrol.io)
- 5
Trace the money (if you can)
If you have a wallet address or a transaction hash, report it to Chainabuse. USDT freezes generally happen only through law enforcement, via Tether.
- 6
Avoid the second scam
Do not use "fund recovery" services. They overwhelmingly turn out to be a second scam targeting people who already lost money.
💡 Tip: referencing the seven regulator warnings plus Poland’s criminal referral in your complaint adds significant credibility.

Help get the website blocked
You don’t need to be a victim to help. Reporting Aurum’s domains to the channels below gets the site flagged in browsers and wallets — and can get the domain suspended. Most take under a minute and need no login.
Copy-and-paste justification
Official, verifiable warnings only — paste this into any form below.
Aurum Foundation (aurum.foundation, aurumfoundation.io, aurum-foundation.com, aurum.trading) is an alleged investment-fraud / crypto-MLM Ponzi scheme. It is the subject of public warnings from seven financial regulators — Russia (CBR), Nigeria (SEC), Greece (HCMC, under EU MiCA), New Zealand (FMA), France (AMF), Australia (ASIC) and Hong Kong (SFC) — and a criminal referral by Poland's financial regulator KNF. Browsers using the MetaMask wallet flag the site as deceptive/phishing, and it is documented by the MLM-fraud publication BehindMLM. It is not licensed in any jurisdiction that has examined it. Please review it for violation of your fraud / phishing / acceptable-use policies. Evidence and primary sources: https://aurum-foundation-scam.com
