"MetaMask believes this domain to have malicious intent and has prevented you from interacting with it.

This is because the site tested positive on the Ethereum Phishing Detector."

Hm, I get this too because I have MetaMask. It uses this library: https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-phishing-detect

Running the detector on 'sanctus.io' gives a fuzzy match against the whitelisted domain 'auctus.org'. That's pretty odd, and clearly is a false positive. I guess it's better safe than sorry, but there should be an error message on that page that says something like "We think this site is pretending to be auctus.org, if you think this is a false positive than click here to continue".

Same here.... Curious
