Crypto Scammers Are Targeting the Elderly in America
Scammers are sliding into DMs, pretending to be cops, and even threatening grandmas and grandpas with bogus jury duty fines or jail time.
Then they’re making the elderly head to a BTM (Bitcoin transaction machine) to convert stacks of cash into crypto, only to send it to a wallet that’s impossible to trace.
In 2024 alone, Georgia cops have dealt with thousands of cases - average loss? $10K.
Reminder: crypto's an open field, but don’t let it be a wild west for fraudsters. Stay alert, stay smart.
