(£2.8M Bitcoin Heist) When Scammers Play Cops, Who Watches the Watchmen? 🕵️♂️💰
In a tale that would make even the most hardened detective scratch his head, the North Wales Police Cyber Crime Department recounted the sordid affair on Facebook. The villain, with a silver tongue and a heart as black as the night, gained the trust of his unsuspecting victim by weaving a web of deceit. He claimed that the victim’s details were discovered on the phone of a recent arrestee, a ruse so convincing that it led the victim to believe he must secure his funds. Alas, this security measure was nothing but a phishing link, a trap from which there was no escape. Once the scammer had the keys to the kingdom, he made off with $2.8 million worth of BTC in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only the echoes of betrayal and the clatter of empty wallets.
