Auratus
Auratus’ Zai Card and Gold Points scheme misleads investors with promises of gold-backed investments, exposing them to high financial risks.
Quick summary on Auratus
Auratus has come under scrutiny for its Zai Cards and Gold Points investment scheme, which allegedly misleads investors by claiming they are acquiring real gold while they are, in fact, purchasing fictional digital assets with no tangible value.
Details of the Zai Card Scheme: Investors are encouraged to buy Zai Cards and load them with cryptocurrency, purportedly representing gold investments. In return, they receive “TAS Gold Points,” which are essentially loyalty points rather than real returns.
Involvement of Key Figures: Josip Heit, linked to various prior fraudulent ventures, is reportedly behind Auratus, rebranding old schemes such as Karatbars International into cryptocurrency-based Ponzi structures.
Regulatory Concerns: The scheme has prompted international fraud alerts due to its deceptive nature. Authorities warn against its misleading promises and lack of transparency about investments.
Financial Implications: Investors risk losing significant sums, often encouraged to liquidate personal assets to participate. The promised rewards in “Gold Points” hold no value outside Auratus’ system.
Conclusion: Auratus exemplifies a rebranded fraudulent scheme, exploiting investor trust with complex, deceptive financial instruments.

How do they even get away with this kind of fraud? It’s frustrating that people are still trusting them with their savings.

It's honestly ridiculous that they are getting away with this. People think they’re investing in gold, but it’s just digital nonsense.

This whole thing smells like a scam. Digital points instead of real gold? Who buys into this?
