How the scam operates.
Aurum Fixは、aurum-fix-corp.comというドメインで運営される認可済みの金融サービス提供業者であると称しています。同プラットフォームは、預け入れを検討する見込み客を安心させることを目的として、規制上の正当性を主張しています。ラテン語で「金」を意味する語と金融上の決済を指す語を組み合わせた名称そのものが、機関としての信頼性を演出するために構成されており、これは個人投資家を標的とする詐欺的なプラットフォームに共通する見せかけの手口です。
この勧誘の中心にあるのは規制当局による認可を受けているという主張ですが、この主張は欧州証券市場監督局（ESMA）の記録によって否定されており、同当局の記録にはこの業者に該当する事業体は存在しません。それにもかかわらず、同業者は法令を遵守する企業であるかのように装い、こうした虚偽表示によって欧州の複数の市場で預け入れを勧誘していました。このように構成された業者に典型的な詐欺の手口は、説得力のあるインターフェースを通じて被害者を取り込み、口座残高が増えているように見せかけ、口座マネージャーやアドバイザーを通じて追加の預け入れを迫るというものです。
破綻は通常、被害者が資金の出金を試みた時点で訪れます。出金の要求は、遅延や、出金の前提条件として提示される追加手数料の要求、あるいは一切の応答がないといった形で扱われます。この段階に至るまでに、ドイツとイタリアの規制当局はそれぞれ独自に同業者を特定し、措置を講じていましたが、無認可の事業体に対する執行措置によって預け入れた資金が回収されることはほとんどありません。被害者の手元には、認可を受けた取引相手も、補償制度も、救済のための規制上の仕組みもないまま、口座明細だけが残されることになります。
Red flags we documented.
- 01No authorisation found with European regulatorsDespite claiming to be an authorised firm, no matching entry was found with the European Securities and Markets Authority. Legitimate brokers holding EU passporting rights appear in ESMA's public registers; absence from those records is a foundational disqualifier for any entity soliciting EU retail clients.
- 02BaFin warning issued for lack of required authorisationGermany's Federal Financial Supervisory Authority issued a formal warning against Aurum Fix in July 2025 for lacking the authorisation required to offer financial services. BaFin warnings are specific findings, not precautionary advisories, and are published to alert investors to active risk.
- 03CONSOB blacklisting for illegal financial services in ItalyItaly's CONSOB added Aurum Fix to its blacklist in March 2026 for offering financial services illegally within Italian jurisdiction. A CONSOB blacklisting is a formal regulatory determination that the entity was operating in breach of Italian financial services law.
- 04Coordinated multi-jurisdiction enforcement patternIndependent regulatory action by two separate EU member state authorities within months of each other points to an operation actively soliciting across multiple markets rather than incidentally reaching foreign investors. This cross-border pattern is consistent with organised, deliberate fraud targeting retail depositors.
- 05No client fund protections of any kindWith no governing authority overseeing this operation, deposited funds carry no statutory protection. There is no investor compensation scheme, no segregated accounts requirement, and no regulatory mechanism for redress. Any recovery must be pursued entirely outside the regulatory system.
What you can do now.
Open a free 24-hour case assessment with CryptoLeek +
Tell us what happened. A senior analyst reads your file within 24 hours and replies with an honest yes/no/conditional on recovery. The assessment is free. If we cannot recover the funds we say so plainly, including which (free) regulator channel you should use instead. If we accept the case, we open a numbered case file and issue a written quote for a flat investigation retainer before any work begins, scoped to case complexity, the jurisdictions involved, and the on-chain trail.

We trace stolen crypto across BTC, ETH, EVM L2s, Solana, Tron, and major stablecoins using the same toolchain as regulators and tier-1 exchange compliance teams. The output is a forensic report anchored to specific transaction hashes and block heights, the evidence that exchanges, payment processors, and counsel actually act on. Recovery starts here.

Where the trace lands in a jurisdiction with cooperative banks and courts, we coordinate with bar-licensed counsel in our 40+ jurisdiction network for civil action and asset-freezing orders (Mareva-style). Counsel bill you directly; the CryptoLeek investigation retainer is independent of counsel fees. The outcome is funds released back to your nominated wallet or bank account.
