Aurum Foundation pyramid fraud warning from Russia
Aurum Foundation has received a pyramid fraud warning from the Central Bank of Russia (CBR).
As per CBR’s July 18th, 2025 warning, Aurum Foundation exhibits “signs of a financial pyramid”.
Aurum Foundation is a Dubai MLM crypto Ponzi that launched mid 2024. MLM Ponzi schemes are almost always also pyramid schemes.
Originally a Boris CEO Ponzi, typical of eastern European scammers, today Aurum Foundation is publicly fronted by CEO Bryan Benson.
Tying in with CBR’s warning and Boris CEO Ponzi schemes typically being run by Russians, when BehindMLM reviewed Aurum Foundation we found Russian in its website source-code:
Bryan Benson is based out of Dubai. It is likely the Russian scammers actually running Aurum Foundation are also hiding out in Dubai.
As of December 2025, Similar Web was tracking ~160,000 monthly Aurum Foundation website visits. Top sources of Aurum Foundation website traffic are the US (49%), Greece (32%) and the UK (10%).
How are US IP addresses being sourced as traffic? The website Aurum.foundation and Aurum.trading have North American regions blocked.
Putting aside any MLM company blocking the US is a strong indicator of fraud, if Aurum Foundation’s geo-block was only recently implemented it wouldn’t show up in December tracking.
Definitely a Ponzi scheme. Just do the math of the compensation plan.
The bigger you invest , the more% you get. Your investment is frozen for a while. You don’t have any control of your funds either way. The network fill up the buffer and here again when there is more to payout than money is coming in..exit.
Sure thing is when you investigating the people behind this fake company, you know enought.
