How we get your funds back from AURUM FOUNDATION LTD

  1. Stop paying immediately. Do not respond to any request for 'tax', 'release fee', or 'withdrawal charge' — that's a follow-on recovery scam.
  2. Preserve your evidence (60 seconds). Save every screenshot, WhatsApp message, email and bank transfer receipt from AURUM FOUNDATION LTD. This becomes the core of your bank complaint.
  3. We file the PSD2/APP-fraud complaint with your bank — a full dossier citing the official regulator warning plus Law 4514/2018 (MiFID II). Your bank has 8 weeks to respond.
  4. We escalate to the Hellenic Financial Ombudsman if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
  5. We coordinate the criminal report with Cyber Crime Division (Greek Police) — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

How this scam works

AURUM FOUNDATION LTD was added to HCMC's watchlist because it is not authorised to provide investment services in Greece. Unregulated brokers use offshore payment processors and shell companies to move victim funds fast — but PSD2 rules and Hellenic Financial Ombudsman give you real recovery routes.

Red flags to recognize

  • Bank flagged the payment as suspicious but the broker urged you to override
  • Testimonials on their website use stock photos (reverse-image search reveals stolen identities)
  • Cold-called or messaged you unexpectedly via WhatsApp, Telegram or Instagram
  • Guaranteed returns above 15% monthly — no legitimate investment can promise this
  • Pressured you to install remote-access software (AnyDesk, TeamViewer) to "help with trading"

Recovery timeline for this case type

For AURUM FOUNDATION LTD-type cases, expect this schedule: (1) Free case review — 24 hours. (2) Evidence pack assembly — 3-5 days. (3) Formal bank complaint under Law 4514/2018 (MiFID II) — 6-8 weeks response window. (4) If refused, Hellenic Financial Ombudsman escalation — 90-120 days. (5) Criminal report coordination — parallel track. Total: 8-20 weeks depending on bank cooperation.
