ONE MILLION LOST: The AI That Just Saved Her From The Crypto Butcher

This type of targeted financial attack is skyrocketing across the US, costing billions. Do not let greed blind you.

🚨 Colorado Man Loses $1.4M in Shocking Crypto Romance Scam! 🚨
The Colorado Bureau of Investigations (CBI) is probing a heartbreaking case where a local man was scammed out of his entire $1.4 million retirement savings through a crypto-linked romance scam. 💔💸
The victim, who spoke anonymously with voice disguised and silhouette shown, revealed the scammers’ tactics and warned others. CBI vows to keep digging for a breakthrough that could expose the whole network. 🔍
Crypto romance scams are skyrocketing, especially targeting the elderly, blending “pig-butchering” tactics with outright fraud, authorities warn.
The Colorado native’s nightmare began during marital troubles when he joined a dating site. After bonding, his “love interest” shifted talks toward investing in digital assets — a trap that cost him everything. 💔📉
Though they never met in person, video calls convinced him to trust “Erin” — likely a fake name used by scammers before. He started sending funds to legit crypto apps, then was lured into fake platforms controlled by scammers, losing it all. 😱
“If it’s too good to be true, it’s not true,” the victim stressed. CBI agent Zeb Semester called it the largest crypto scam loss he’s ever seen. “Investment scams like this cause the biggest losses we encounter.”
Law enforcement focuses on recovering stolen funds, as most scammers operate overseas and remain hard to track.
Experts blame the unregulated crypto world for fueling these scams, leaving victims with little protection or recourse. “It’s the Wild West out there,” says BBB Director Meghan Conradt, warning that crypto’s volatility and lack of safeguards make it a prime target. ⚠️
Stay alert, trust cautiously, and watch for red flags — your savings could depend on it.
