Tourist Drugged in London, Loses $123K in Crypto via Uber Ride 💀📉
A US tourist lost $123,000 in $BTC and $XRP after a seemingly normal Uber ride in London turned into a nightmare.
Here’s what happened:
• The Uber driver offered him a cigarette — laced with a suspected drug.
• Under the influence, the victim revealed his phone PIN and gave access to his Revolut wallet.
• Within hours, his entire crypto balance was wiped out.
$123,000 gone.
All because of a casual smoke and zero operational security.
Let this be a hard reminder:
• Never unlock your wallet in front of strangers
• Don’t store serious funds in hot wallets or app accounts
• Always use 2FA, face ID, and cold storage for large holdings
Crypto gives you full control — but full control comes with full responsibility.
