๐จ SHOCKING! A New Crypto Scam Shakes the U.S.! ๐ฅ๐ณ
According to ChainCatcher, a woman from San Jose, California โ Margaret Locke โ became the victim of a brutal crypto scam after trusting an โonline businessman.โ
Back in May, she met a man on Facebook who introduced himself as โEdโ ๐คต๐ฌ
He built an emotional connection, gained her trust, and slowly convinced her to invest in cryptocurrency.
๐ธ In the end, Locke transferred over $490,000 from her retirement accountโฆ
And then another $300,000 by taking a second mortgage on her home ๐ฑ
When her supposed โcrypto accountโ was suddenly frozen, โEdโ demanded ๐ another $1,000,000 to โunfreezeโ it ๐คฌ
Desperate, she turned to ChatGPT for advice โ and the AI immediately recognized the pattern as a classic scam, urging her to contact authorities right away.
Investigators later discovered that the money had been transferred to a bank account in Malaysia, where scammers quickly withdrew it ๐ผ๐ธ
