• About $350,000 in gold bars handed to an unknown woman on two occasions
• About $124,900 in cryptocurrency transfers
• Over $600,000 through more than 60 YouTrip QR code transactions
• About $26,500 transferred via PayNow to a local bank account

Between Oct 14 and Oct 22, the victim was scammed of over $1.1 million after being instructed to surrender his funds and valuables for "investigative purposes". This included:

• About $350,000 in gold bars handed to an unknown woman on two occasions
• About $124,900 in cryptocurrency transfers
• Over $600,000 through more than 60 YouTrip QR code transactions
• About $26,500 transferred via PayNow to a local bank account

I wonder what is this victim's wealth. He may be $1.1 mio poorer but still have a lot of money still. What kind of person keeps $350K in gold bars?

"When suspicious transfers were flagged, the victim's bank contacted him twice, but he had been coached by scammers to claim the transactions were for investments and gifts."

When they told you to tell lie to bank, isn't it very obvious they are scammers?

I dunno why people so free to entertain strangers one. The moment they talk to you, you lose the battle already. Especially if you know you are a nice person.

 

[Money no have]
