Over 3,000 individuals in Tehuacán and Puebla, Mexico, were victims of a cryptocurrency scam involving a fraudulent trading bot that promised high returns and guaranteed payouts. The scheme unraveled when users found their withdrawal requests frozen and the company's offices disappeared. This incident highlights the growing concern over cryptocurrency scams, particularly as they increasingly target vulnerable populations, including older Americans. As part of a broader effort to combat such scams, organizations are promoting awareness and education during International Fraud Awareness Week. Authorities, including the Pima County Sheriff's Department, are also taking action against cryptocurrency scams in various regions, emphasizing the need for vigilance against fraudulent schemes.
