New scam - purported AI trading platform "PrimeAurora" SCAM ALERT
Update: They now call themselves NetherExPro instead of PrimeAurora.
So there's this new scam which claims to be a trading platform that delivers like 10% per day or so.
It appears in many languages but the basic format of the article is always the same.
I won't post the link/s to the article/s because I do not want you to fall for it, as it seems quite convincing.
In order to make sure SEO finds this page and alerts you to its being a scam, I have pasted the wording of the South African edition here in white ink so that you can't read it but it is here.
The South African one has a few huge giveaways that it is fake:
1. The news article is from News24, one of our major outlets, but the URL is not news24.com or news24.co.za.
2. NewzRoomAfrika does not contain the relevant interview. This is the only one, clearly different:
3. The bank balance statement comes allegedly from SARB rather than say, ABSA, Standard, Nedbank, Capitec, etc. SARB is the RESERVE BANK it NEVER deals with individuals, much less sends account balances to individuals!
4. The author name and the names of the commentators are not believably south african.

Fans advocate for Minnie Dlamini’s release after controversial interview
3 days ago

Hundreds of supporters have rallied to defend Minnie Dlamini following a scandalous incident during the live broadcast of a popular show.
Shocked by the government's order to detain her, fans are expressing their outrage as charges are brought against Minnie Dlamini for leaking confidential information that could harm the country's economy. As a result, she has been placed under house arrest, and authorities have strictly prohibited her from accessing the media.
The incident occurred during the broadcast of the program on channel "Newzroom Afrika" during which Minnie Dlamini accidentally revealed an additional source of income. Although this income is legal, authorities are concerned that disclosing this information could lead to mass layoffs by exposing income disparities.
The interview with Minnie Dlamini was pulled from all TV channels and online platforms just half an hour after it aired. However, our editorial team managed to obtain a copy of the interview.
TRANSCRIPT OF THE ON CHANNEL "NEWZROOM AFRIKA" PROGRAM WITH MINNIE DLAMINI:
Mpho Sithole : "I've always wondered how you manage such a luxurious lifestyle. Surely, a TV host's salary can't cover all this. Be honest, have you found a wealthy admirer?"
Minnie Dlamini : "Everything I have, I've earned myself. The thing is, my job is not my only source of income."
Mpho Sithole : "I know how busy you are. It’s unlikely you have time for another side business. It seems you're not telling us everything..."
Minnie Dlamini : "I don't have a second business, but I started earning on the platform PrimeAurora A year ago, I invested only 5 000 rand and quickly increased my investment. Now, I live on the daily income from this platform."
Mpho Sithole : "How much do you make?"
Minnie Dlamini : "Between 40 000 and 60 000 rand a day, though I could earn more. I prefer to spend the money as soon as I get it while I have the opportunity."
Mpho Sithole : "Are you saying that by investing just 5 000 rand, you can really become that rich? If it were that easy, everyone would do it."
Minnie Dlamini : "What's stopping you from doing it? Believe me, work isn't the only way to earn money. We live in the age of digital technology and artificial intelligence. Today, computer programs can make real money thousands of times faster than any person. I'm surprised people still don't know about PrimeAurora "
Mpho Sithole : "It's easy for you to say. You're rich and famous. What do people like you know about the lives of ordinary people? They go to work every day to feed themselves and their families."
Minnie Dlamini : "Don't blame me for getting rich honestly. Besides, anyone can earn as much as I do and reach their first million in 1-2 months."
Mpho Sithole : "A million in 1-2 months? Let's be honest, that's impossible for most people."
Minnie Dlamini : "Want to bet I can make you rich in five minutes? I laugh at those who constantly complain they don't have money. There are opportunities now that come once in a hundred years, and you fools aren't taking advantage of them."
Mpho Sithole : "Let's bet. If by the end of this conversation you don't convince me that anyone can become as rich as you, you will donate your monthly income to charity. Is that a deal?"
Minnie Dlamini : "Deal. Now give me your tablet."
Mpho Sithole handed her tablet. Minnie Dlamini didn't know that her actions were being recorded on camera. She opened a link on the moderator's tablet, entered her details, deposited 5 000 rand, and took a call.
Mpho Sithole : "What did you just do?"
Minnie Dlamini : "I registered you on the PrimeAurora platform and activated the account. I topped up your balance with 5 000 rand — the minimum amount needed to start the program. Let's see how much you can make in half an hour."
Mpho Sithole : "What is this platform and why didn't you tell everyone about it before?"
Minnie Dlamini : "It's an AI-based program, similar to Chat GPT, but for making money. It can trade stocks, currencies, and bonds, and it's a hundred times more effective than any trader."
Mpho Sithole : "I've heard about such things. But as far as I know, they're supposed to be confidential. Yet you just openly told everyone where our viewers can sign up."
Minnie Dlamini : "How can you register without a link to PrimeAurora ? Believe me, it's not easy to find. I won't tell anyone because it could harm our country's economy."
Mpho Sithole : "Do you realize that when you took my tablet, the camera caught the link you used to register? Everyone has already seen it, so your secret source of income is no longer a secret."
Minnie Dlamini : "Please stop the broadcast. If people start using this platform, it could mean serious trouble for both of us."
Mpho Sithole : "What are you so afraid of?"
Minnie Dlamini : "Think about it! If everyone started earning thousands of rand a day on PrimeAurora , people would start quitting their jobs. Why would they work eight hours a day if a program can earn much more?"
Mpho Sithole : "How legal is this method?"
Minnie Dlamini : "The fact is, everyone on the Forbes list uses this platform, including wealthy politicians, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and investors. How do you think I found out about it? It's completely legitimate, based on the most advanced technologies and artificial intelligence."
For the next half hour, Mpho Sithole and Minnie Dlamini discussed the impact of modern technologies and speculated on which professions might disappear due to artificial intelligence.
Minnie Dlamini : "So, shall we return to our bet? It's been 30 minutes, let's see how much you've earned."
Mpho Sithole : "This is incredible. I now have 5 730 rand in my account. I did nothing and earned 730 rand net in just half an hour!"
Minnie Dlamini : "Now calculate how much you could earn in a month. The program works even while you sleep. You could withdraw your profits every day, but if you wait, you could earn 3 million in 3-4 months."
Mpho Sithole : "So just register with your link? It's so simple that I feel foolish."
Minnie Dlamini : "Yes, just register and deposit at least 5 000 rand. This program trades currencies, stocks, and bonds on its own, but it needs some initial capital to function. After that, a manager will call you to help set up and launch your account."
Mpho Sithole : "Wonderful! I see not all trades are profitable, but the overall income keeps growing. I tried to understand currency trading on my own before, but it was too difficult for me. Here, I don’t have to do anything at all."
Minnie Dlamini : "Yes, AI sometimes makes mistakes. But even if you lose a few rand on a trade, the next transactions usually bring good profits."
After this, the interview ended. But Minnie Dlamini’s troubles were just beginning... :
After the broadcast, Minnie Dlamini was summoned to court at the request of the National Bank. She was accused of deliberately damaging the economy. After she shared the link that earned her money, thousands of people used this method and began leaving reviews.
Whole rallies are being held in support of this celebrity. People are thanking her for PrimeAurora and demanding her release. It’s already known that the prosecutor's office checked Minnie Dlamini's accounts and found nothing illegal in her actions. In the end, the government itself confirmed that anyone can legally earn money using PrimeAurora.
One of our news editors decided to try the platform and wrote a detailed report describing his experience.
Day 1:
"I admit, at first, I didn't trust this platform. But I really wanted to try it myself. The first thing I did was create an account on the registration page of this system. It took me about 2 minutes. The platform manager called me and confirmed my registration, but after depositing, nothing happened. Well, a few minutes later, I was glad but then saw the statistics - my first trade was for 180 rand.
In the first few minutes on the platform, I had already incurred a significant loss, but the next trade, and the ones after, brought me a profit. In a few minutes, my balance increased from 5 000 to 5 467 rand!”
Day 2:
"The morning started with checking the balance, and it was already 11 065 rand! Just imagine: in one day, my balance doubled. I was going to withdraw my profit, but I decided to wait another week."
Day 7:
"I didn't check my balance on the PrimeAurora platform for a whole week. It was difficult because I was afraid my money would be gone."
But when I logged into my trading account, I saw the following picture: almost 85% of all trades were profitable. The remaining 15% incurred losses but easily recovered. And now my balance was 76 343 rand! I withdrew 70 000 rand to buy a gift for my wife. The money arrived within an hour, and the remaining amount continued to generate income for me.
Here is the account statement:"There's nothing quite like PrimeAurora ! If I hadn't cashed out my earnings, that initial 5 000 rand would've turned into a million in just 11 weeks."
HERE'S A BRIEF GUIDE ON HOW TO START EARNING WITH
