How the scam operates.
A Aurum Fix se apresenta como uma prestadora de serviços financeiros autorizada que opera sob o domínio aurum-fix-corp.com. A plataforma faz alegações de legitimidade regulatória concebidas para tranquilizar potenciais depositantes. O próprio nome, que combina a palavra latina para ouro com uma referência à liquidação financeira, foi construído para projetar credibilidade institucional, uma tática de apresentação comum entre plataformas fraudulentas que têm como alvo investidores de varejo.
No centro do discurso está a afirmação de autorização regulatória, uma alegação contradita pelos registros da Autoridade Europeia dos Valores Mobiliários e dos Mercados (ESMA), que não retornam nenhuma entidade correspondente a esse operador. Apesar disso, a operação se posicionou como uma empresa em conformidade, uma falsa representação que lhe permitiu captar depósitos em diversos mercados europeus. O padrão de fraude típico de operações estruturadas dessa forma envolve a captação de vítimas por meio de uma interface convincente, a exibição de um aparente crescimento da conta e a pressão por depósitos adicionais por meio de gerentes de conta ou assessores.
O colapso normalmente chega quando as vítimas tentam sacar os fundos. Os pedidos de saque são respondidos com atrasos, exigências de taxas adicionais apresentadas como condições prévias para a liberação ou simplesmente com a ausência de resposta. A essa altura, os reguladores da Alemanha e da Itália já haviam identificado e agido de forma independente contra a operação, mas as ações de fiscalização contra entidades sem licença raramente resultam na recuperação dos fundos depositados. As vítimas ficam com extratos de conta sem nenhuma contraparte licenciada, sem nenhum esquema de compensação e sem nenhum mecanismo regulatório de reparação.
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.
Trace your funds on-chain with our analysts +
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.
Recover with counsel where civil action makes sense +
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.
