Crypto dream, scam nightmare - video

The dangers of investing in bogus crypto currency schemes feature in a new video from the National Crime Agency.

“Crypto Investment Fraud sees members of the public, interested in growing their money, introduced to fraudulent cryptocurrency platforms, where they are encouraged to send thousands of pounds as an 'investment',” explained a Lincolnshire Police spokesperson.

“Fake digital platforms make 'false investors' believe their money is growing, making extraordinary profits in a short period of time. The truth is the funds have been stolen by fraudsters. Victims have never been investors - their money has simply taken.”
