The Utah Division of Securities issued a September 29 investor warning about Apertum.io, DAO1 and associated products offered by Apertum Holding Ltd. The division says the entity is not registered to conduct business in Utah and has no securities filings to offer, sell or advise on securities or derivatives in the state.

The alert urges people approached about an investment to exercise caution and consult a licensed financial professional. The division characterizes the investments as unregistered with state or federal regulators and warns that money placed in unregistered offshore offerings can be difficult to recover.

Utah also points to warnings from regulators in Alberta and New Zealand.

The division directs investors to check professionals through the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure database or FINRA BrokerCheck and to report suspected fraud to Utah securities officials.
