Bitcoin scammers impersonate police, Sunray Finance $2.7M drain: Crypto-Sec
Scammers pretended to be police and demanded BTC for missing court dates, while an attacker minted a huge number of SUN tokens and dumped them.
Some residents of the state of Colorado in the United States have fallen victim to a new police impersonation scam.
According to an Oct. 31 report from local news site Summit Daily, a scammer called residents and claimed to be a representative of the local government. They told the victim that they had to pay a $10,000 fine for missing jury duty, which must be paid in Bitcoin.
In response, the victim transferred $6,000 of Bitcoin (BTC), but the real authorities stopped the victim from transferring the remaining $4,000, saving it from the attacker’s hands.
