#scamriskwarning #ScamAware #ScamAlert The platform in (**aureum.bot** / Aureum AI Bot) does **not** appear safe for investment. It exhibits multiple strong characteristics of a high-risk scheme, very likely a **Ponzi or scam operation** disguised as a "decentralized AI liquidity bot" or automated investment tool.

Here are the key red flags based on its features and broader context around similar "Aureum" named platforms:

- **Unrealistic guaranteed returns** — implying roughly 1.1% daily (or ~400%+ annualized if compounded). Promises of steady, high daily profits (especially "per minute" accrual) with no apparent risk or market downside are classic Ponzi hallmarks — real trading/investing never guarantees this without huge volatility or loss potential.

- **Telegram bot interface + "claim" button with countdown timer** — This is a common design in crypto exit scams and Ponzi apps. Early users often see "profits" credited (to build trust and encourage referrals), but withdrawals eventually get restricted, delayed, or impossible once new deposits slow down.

- **Claims of "100% decentralized blockchain technology" + liquidity pool** — Many searched results for aureum.bot explicitly promote 1.1% daily returns, instant withdrawals, and referral bonuses (team bonuses up to 30 levels in some promotions). Referral/MLM structures + fixed high yields = textbook Ponzi/red flags.

- **Regulatory warnings exist for very similar "AURUM BOT" entities** — In early 2026, Nigeria's SEC explicitly warned against **AURUM BOT** as unlicensed and showing "Ponzi-style risks." Other regulators (Russia's Central Bank, ASIC in Australia, etc.) have flagged nearly identical "Aurum" projects for pyramid/Ponzi signs, frozen funds, and fraud links.

- **Mixed but heavily negative sentiment** — Reviews on Trustpilot, Reddit, BehindMLM, and scam investigation videos frequently call out:
- No proof of real trading (zero on-chain evidence or audited performance).
- Connections to past collapsed schemes (e.g., CashFX-style operations).
- Reports of locked funds, withdrawal blocks, and promoters living lavishly to lure new victims.
Positive reviews often look promotional (affiliate-driven), while scam reports mention millions defrauded.

Even if this exact .bot domain variant differs slightly from "aurum.foundation" or "aurumai.net" (which have their own mix of hype and scam accusations), the pattern matches: AI buzzwords + Telegram bot + passive high yields + liquidity pool facade = very high scam probability.

**Recommendation**:
- Do **not** invest or deposit more funds.
- If you've already invested, attempt withdrawal immediately (but expect issues — many report funds get "frozen" after initial small payouts).
- Never share private keys, seed phrases, or send crypto to unknown addresses promising returns.
- For real DeFi/liquidity provision, use well-audited protocols on Ethereum, Base, etc. (e.g., Uniswap, Aave) with transparent smart contracts — never through anonymous Telegram bots promising fixed daily %.

This is almost certainly **not** a legitimate or safe decentralized platform. Stay far away to protect your money. If you have more details (e.g., exact wallet transactions), feel free to share for further assessment.$USDT $BNB #aureum

Ronaldinho: Another Sam Exposed - He Robbed His Fans 2nd Time still he has no Regret
This is Ronaldinho, a football legend who just pulled a fast one on his own fans! He launched $STAR10, a memecoin that turned out to be a scam. Just yesterday, he withdrew over $100 MILLION from his rug pull. I’ve conducted a detailed on-chain investigation into $STAR10, revealing exactly how Ronaldinho pulled off this fraud.
Let’s dive in ⬇️
Before we get started...
If you appreciate deep-dive investigations like this, please like and repost! Your support helps my account grow and motivates me to continue exposing scams and bringing you top-tier alpha content. I truly appreciate it—thank you! 🙏
1/ Who is Ronaldinho?
Ronaldinho is a former Brazilian professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder and left winger. He represented Brazil in two FIFA World Cups, played 97 matches for the national team, and scored 33 goals during his international career. As one of football’s biggest icons, Ronaldinho had global recognition and trust—which he just exploited for a crypto scam.
2/ The Power of Influence
Ronaldinho built a massive following over the years, gathering 21 million followers on X. With such influence, he had the ability to shape opinions and drive engagement. Unfortunately, instead of using his platform for something meaningful, he chose to rug pull his own fans.
3/ A History of Controversy
This isn’t the first time Ronaldinho has been involved in a serious scandal. Back in 2020, he was arrested in Paraguay for attempting to enter the country using a fake passport. Both he and his brother were caught with forged documents, leading to a brief stint in detention. Even after this incident, his reputation remained largely intact—until now.
4/ The $STAR10 Launch
On March 2nd, Ronaldinho deployed his own memecoin, $STAR10, and immediately posted the link to the official website on his X account. The price skyrocketed within hours, but the details behind the scenes were far from clean.
5/ The Setup for the Scam
Before launching $STAR10, Ronaldinho suddenly became very active in crypto, posting daily reminders and hyping up the project. This was the first time in his entire career that he had ever spoken about crypto, despite having zero knowledge in the field. It was all part of a calculated promotional campaign designed to increase buy volume and create artificial hype before the dump.
6/ The Aftermath – A 70% Crash
The price of $STAR10 has already dropped by 70%, and there’s a clear reason for it. Ronaldinho and his team sniped a massive portion of the supply at launch, meaning they were in control of the market from the start. His fans were unknowingly being used as exit liquidity for Ronaldinho and his insiders.
7/ On-Chain Proof
Here’s the current #STAR10 BubbleMap, which provides clear evidence of how this scam unfolded. The largest wallets are all connected to Ronaldinho—he and his team acquired over 95% of the circulating supply before even revealing the official contract address.
8/ Fake Trading Volume
If you check DexScreener, you’ll notice something unusual: The so-called “top traders” of $STAR10 are actually Ronaldinho’s own wallets. This means there was no real demand for the token—just insiders moving funds around to make it appear legitimate. The total amount extracted? Over $100 MILLION stolen from his fans.
9/ Even Binance CEO CZ Issued a Warning
Binance CEO CZ also warned about $STAR10, highlighting its high-risk factors. One of the most alarming aspects? The contract allowed the owner to burn any token at will. This meant that Ronaldinho had the power to erase your entire holdings with a single click.
10/ Conclusion – If You Hold $STAR10, Beware!
If you’re still holding $STAR10, you need to be extremely cautious. This token was never designed to benefit retail investors—it was created to enrich Ronaldinho and his team. He’s already dumped 70% of the chart, and it won’t be long before it’s down 99%. This was a planned exit scam from the beginning.
There you have it! Ronaldinho, once a revered football legend, now infamous for his crypto scam. Stay vigilant out there! 🚨

What is "Social Engineering"?

You might think securing your crypto is all about strong passwords and fancy tech, but what if the biggest vulnerability is actually… you? It’s not your fault, we all have a human side that scammers love to exploit.

Imagine someone trying to get into your house.

Instead of picking the lock (that's like hacking software), they just convince you to open the door!

🚪 Social engineering in crypto is exactly that: it's not about breaking code, but tricking us - the people - into giving up sensitive info.

Scammers use psychology, making you feel urgent, curious, or afraid.

We often focus on device security, but our human emotions are the real target. It feels so sneaky, right?

Therefore, we sometimes miss red flags, trusting a helpful-sounding stranger. The key is realizing these aren’t technical hacks, but clever mind games.
Therefore, the 'fix' isn’t a new firewall, but a new mindset.
Always, always verify requests for information independently, even if they seem from someone you know or a trusted source.

If an unexpected offer makes you feel pressured or overly excited, stop and double-check through official channels.

Realizing you are the first and best line of defense against these sneaky tricks is truly empowering! 💪

Small habits compound into strong protection. 
1) Lock down your account:
Turn on two-factor authentication and keep the second factor on a separate device. Use a strong, unique password or passkey, keep your OS, browser, and apps updated, secure the email tied to your Binance account, and avoid public Wi-Fi for sign-ins. Learn how in Binance’s 2FA guide.
2) Verify before you connect or sign:
When exploring Web3, slow down at the signature screen. Double-check the URL through official channels, read what you are approving, and test unfamiliar DApps with small amounts. Ignore surprise tokens or “free airdrops” you did not request, and periodically revoke old approvals. Use Binance Verify and this phishing primer.
3) Report fast with complete details:
If you suspect theft, contact local law enforcement and open a case with Binance Support immediately. Include transaction hashes, wallet addresses, asset, chain, timestamps, and screenshots. Faster, complete reports improve the odds of a precautionary hold while facts are verified.
4) Guard your keys:
Never share your seed phrase or private keys. Keep them offline. For long-term holdings, prefer a hardware wallet.
5) Reduce device exposure:
Use a separate device for trading rather than everyday browsing, gaming, or downloads. Do not run unknown software. Treat unsolicited DMs and links with caution and verify claims through official channels.
6) Be skeptical of “recovery services:”
Many outfits that promise to get funds back for an upfront fee are scams. Do your own research, avoid granting remote access, and do not pay in crypto or gift cards. See Binance’s guidance on fraudulent recovery services.
7) Bonus for builders:
Audit smart contracts before launch, protect secrets in secure vaults, use hardware signers and multisig for sensitive actions, and set up monitoring with clear runbooks for admin changes, unusual mints, and bridge activity.

A crypto investor recently fell victim to an "address poisoning" scam, losing 4,556 ETH worth $12.25 million. The scam occurred when the user copied a fake address from their transaction history, which was designed to mimic a legitimate wallet address. This incident follows a similar case in December where another user lost $50 million in USDT due to the same type of scam.

Address poisoning scams involve attackers generating vanity addresses that match the first and last characters of a target's trusted contacts. These fake addresses are then embedded in the victim's transaction history, making it difficult to distinguish between legitimate and fraudulent addresses.

How to Protect Yourself:

- Never copy-paste addresses from transaction history
- Manually verify each character of the recipient's address
- Use wallet aliases to label trusted contacts
- Bookmark frequent recipients in your wallet's whitelist

These scams are becoming increasingly common, with over 1 million attempts detected daily on Ethereum. Blockchain transactions are irreversible, making it crucial to exercise caution when sending cryptocurrency.

In the glitzy world of social media finance, a new breed of "guru" has emerged. They flash luxury cars, trade in high-end watches, and promise that the next "100x" coin is just one "buy" button away. But as the 2024 and 2025 crypto markets have shown, many of these viral recommendations are less about financial freedom and more about a calculated cycle of fake promotion and the "dump."
The Anatomy of the Influencer "Pump"
The scam isn't just a random accident; it’s a choreographed performance designed to exploit the Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO).
The Hidden Accumulation: Long before the video goes live, the influencer or their "sponsors" accumulate massive amounts of a low-cap, worthless token at near-zero prices.The Paid "Review": The YouTuber releases a video titled something like "THE NEXT BITCOIN? (Don't Miss Out!)". What they often fail to disclose—violating SEC and FTC regulations—is that they were paid tens of thousands of dollars to read a script.The Artificial Spike: Followers, trusting the creator’s "expertise," rush to buy. This massive inflow of retail money causes the price to skyrocket—the Pump.
The "Dump": When the Hype Hits the Ceiling
While the YouTuber is telling their audience to "diamond hand" (hold) the coin for long-term gains, the reality behind the scenes is the exact opposite.The Exit Strategy: As soon as the price hits a predetermined peak, the influencer and the project founders sell their massive holdings. The Liquidity Trap: Because these coins often have "low liquidity," the massive sell-off causes the price to crater.The Result: Within hours or days, the coin's value drops by 90% or more. The influencer walks away with a "marketing fee" and trading profits; the followers are left holding "worthless bags."
Pro Tip: Use blockchain explorers like Etherscan or Solscan to see if a few wallets hold more than 10-20% of the coin. If they do, you aren't an investor—you're the exit liquidity.
The Bottom Line
In the crypto world, if an influencer is shouting about a coin for free, you are the product. Their "research" is often just a paid advertisement for a scheme designed to fail. Always remember: if it’s too good to be true, it’s probably a dump.

L'univers des cryptomonnaies, bien que regorgeant d'opportunités, n'est pas sans ses dangers. Les hackers et usurpateurs exploitent l'anonymat, la décentralisation, et l'aspect relativement nouveau de ce secteur pour déployer des méthodes sophistiquées de vol. Cet article explore les principales techniques utilisées par ces acteurs malveillants et vous offre des conseils pratiques pour vous en prémunir.

Les Faux Giveaways
Les faux giveaways sont parmi les arnaques les plus répandues dans le monde des cryptomonnaies. Le concept est simple : un hacker se fait passer pour une célébrité ou une entreprise de renom et propose un concours ou un giveaway promettant de doubler ou tripler vos fonds en crypto. Pour participer, il suffit d'envoyer une somme modeste à une adresse donnée, avec la promesse de recevoir bien plus en retour. Naturellement, l'argent envoyé disparaît, et aucun retour ne vous parvient.
Un faux giveaway peut exploiter des comptes Twitter ou YouTube compromis, publiant des liens vers des sites de phishing parfaitement imitables. Ces sites ne se contentent pas de récolter les fonds envoyés, mais peuvent également dérober vos informations personnelles ou vos clés privées.
Les Fake NFTs et Malwares Cachés
Les NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), bien qu’extrêmement populaires, sont aussi utilisés pour distribuer des malwares. Certains hackers créent des NFTs qui, une fois achetés ou même simplement visualisés, déclenchent un code malveillant. Ce code peut vider votre portefeuille ou compromettre vos clés privées.
Un fichier NFT peut contenir un script qui, lorsqu’il est ouvert sur une plateforme supportant les smart contracts, exécute un code malveillant. Par exemple, ce script pourrait ajouter des permissions invisibles à un smart contract, offrant ainsi au hacker un accès à votre portefeuille. Un clic innocent pourrait vous coûter cher.
Les Fausse Promesse de Gains
Les messages d’arnaque vous annonçant que vous avez « gagné » une grosse somme en USDT ou une autre cryptomonnaie sont fréquents. Ces messages vous redirigent souvent vers un site où l’on vous demande de connecter votre portefeuille pour « réclamer » vos gains. Mais ces sites sont conçus pour voler vos informations ou drainer vos fonds.
Ces arnaques utilisent souvent des contrats intelligents qui, une fois autorisés à interagir avec votre portefeuille, peuvent transférer tous vos actifs vers le portefeuille du hacker. Un piège redoutable et facile à éviter avec un peu de vigilance.

Les Tokens Imitateurs
Créer un token ressemblant à un autre populaire mais sans valeur réelle est une autre méthode courante. Les hackers créent ces tokens pour les échanger contre des cryptos légitimes. Ces tokens frauduleux apparaissent parfois dans votre portefeuille sans que vous les ayez achetés, vous incitant à les échanger contre des cryptos valides.
Ces tokens imitent souvent l’adresse d’un token populaire, changeant parfois un seul caractère. Si vous tentez de les vendre ou de les échanger, cela peut déclencher des scripts malveillants qui siphonnent vos fonds. La vigilance est de mise.
L'Usurpation d'Identité sur Telegram
Les hackers utilisent également des plateformes comme Telegram pour se faire passer pour des administrateurs, membres d’équipes projet ou investisseurs bienveillants . Ils offrent de l'aide ou des conseils d’investissement, mais leur véritable intention est de voler vos informations ou vos fonds.
Ces imposteurs envoient des liens vers des sites de phishing ou demandent d’effectuer une transaction spécifique qui, en réalité, transfère vos fonds à leur adresse. Une simple transaction peut tout changer.

Le Phishing et les Faux Conseils
Le phishing, technique de piratage classique, a évolué dans le domaine des cryptomonnaies. Les hackers envoient des emails, messages ou DMs avec des liens vers des sites imitant ceux d’échanges ou de portefeuilles bien connus. Une fois que vous y entrez vos informations, elles sont immédiatement capturées par le hacker.
Certains sites de phishing sont si bien conçus qu’ils copient presque parfaitement les interfaces de plateformes populaires comme MetaMask ou Binance. Les hackers peuvent même utiliser des domaines très similaires pour tromper les utilisateurs. Ne vous laissez pas surprendre par une interface familière !

Se Protéger des Attaques
Vérification des Sources : Avant de participer à un giveaway ou de cliquer sur un lien, vérifiez toujours l’authenticité de la source. Ne vous fiez jamais uniquement à l’apparence d’un compte ou d’un site.Double Authentication : Utilisez l’authentification à deux facteurs (2FA) sur tous vos comptes liés à la cryptomonnaie. C’est une couche de sécurité supplémentaire qui peut faire toute la différence.Analyse des Smart Contracts : Soyez prudent avec les smart contracts, et ne donnez jamais d’autorisation à des contrats dont vous ne comprenez pas parfaitement le fonctionnement.Portefeuilles Sécurisés : Utilisez des portefeuilles matériels (hardware wallets) pour stocker la majorité de vos fonds. Mieux vaut prévenir que guérir.Sensibilisation : Éduquez-vous continuellement sur les nouvelles menaces et restez informé des meilleures pratiques pour sécuriser vos actifs.

Cet article a été rédigé dans un but purement informatif et n’incite en aucun cas à des pratiques illégales ou malveillantes. Le but est de vous sensibiliser aux risques liés à l’utilisation des cryptomonnaies et de vous fournir des conseils pour protéger vos actifs.
Merci de m’avoir lu. Restez vigilant, et rappelez-vous : la sécurité est une responsabilité que vous devez prendre très au sérieux dans l’univers des cryptomonnaies.
