🚨 Scammer impersonated a police officer and stole $BTC worth $2.8 million! 🚨
North Wales Police (UK) is investigating a brazen bitcoin theft totaling $2.8 million (£2.1 million).
📌 Scheme:
The scammer posed as a senior detective, convinced the victim to "secure assets" and provided a phishing link to access the cold storage. Within minutes, the crypto assets were withdrawn.
⚠️ Important: Real detectives and police officers never call citizens to discuss cryptocurrency or cold wallets.
🔎 Previously, the FBI warned about similar schemes where perpetrators impersonated exchange employees.
👉 Be cautious and always verify sources before entering wallet information.
