Being stung from the same hole twice:
Amanda Briggs, 72, wanted to make a profit by investing in cryptocurrency to send her grandchildren to private schools.
She became curious about investing in Bitcoin after watching an episode featuring Bitcoin on a popular BBC TV programme.
Without getting enough knowledge about Bitcoin, this old man deposited £42,000 to one of the fraudulent online investment brokers.
Before investing, her banking partner, Barclays, advised her not to invest in assets that were questionable or that she did not know enough information about.
But she refused the advice given and decided to go ahead with the investment process.
She later admitted that the people who acted as online investment brokers were very “convincing” and she could see profits in a short amount of time.
But it turns out that it is a fraud and you will not get money either in the short or long term.
When she wanted to get her money back, she was surprised that only £91 was left in her account, while the other amount was stolen.
Unfortunately, it did not stop there as one of these fraudulent brokers contacted her claiming to be an employee of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) by e-mail and convinced her that in order to recover what was stolen from her she had to first pay the sum of £25,000.
