NYPD: Bitcoin thieves posing as government officials have stolen over $2M

The scammers will be on everywhere, on the internet or real life.
We need to be careful about that, and we must protect what we have and always make sure that it's not fake information that we receive.
I almost get scam by phone in a long time ago, and that person asks me to send money to one bank account, but I don't send the money, and I talk to him pretending I understand his instruction.
I think this is the old model of the scam that always happen in many places and as long as we can be careful about receiving a suspicious unknown phone number, we will be fine.

You really have to be an idiot to believe the police or any other government agency will ask you to buy them a gift card or pay in bitcoin?

I also thought the same thing, how could anyone believe in something like that? Does this mean that government officials would be calling all day long for thousands of people and would still ask people to make payments without being on-site? and with bitcoin something that is not yet legalized? how can people not take some time and reflect on it?


this article spoke in general, but whoever wrote the article rushed to use bitcoin as the main target
