FinancialGates Reviews
Here’s a FinancialGates scam review posted on SiteJabber on December 6, 2022:
Don’t go near Financial Gates! They ripped me off. They tried ripping me off again but I went to credit card fraud department instead. Don’t believe positive reviews.
Based on this FinancialGates Review, and similarities with AuroraCoins, we believe that both are scams which were created by the same people.
In short, by discovering that Financial Gates is a website owned by Aurora Coins we have achieved three things:
First, we have exposed FinancialGates.net as a dangerous scam.
Second, we have discovered the contact information of Aurora Coins, which have already evaporated off the face of the Internet with their victims’ funds.
Unfortunately, there are only email address for contact information: support@financialgatesservice.net & support@financialgates.net.
Thirdly, we now have more information to work with to find additional scams associated with the same individual or group of fraudsters.
Based on similar text found across different websites, we were able to find that calcoextra.com is another website which may be owned by the same scammers.
Bottom Line: Is AuroraCoins Legit?
AuroraCoins, Financial Gates, and possibly CalcoExtra are three websites which were created by a group of scammers who have been victimizing investors across the globe by stealing very large sums of money.
Do yourself a favor and stay far away from them.
SCAM ALERT! Do NOT invest with Aurora-Coins.com, FinancialGates.net, and CalcoExtra.com.
