A Roca man is the latest victim of a bitcoin scam. Lancaster County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Ben Houchin says the 66 year old man got a text from Amazon claiming there is a fraudulent charge on his account.
The victim then called the number and spoke with someone identified as Randy. He convinced the man to take money out of his account and put it into Bitcoin.
The victim did exactly that and took $9,000 of his bank account. “He finally became suspicious when Randy tries to get him convinced to take his wife’s money out and put it into Bitcoin.”
