Steven Cooke, a Plymouth man, lost $37,000 in a cryptocurrency scam. Cooke was alerted by a woman claiming his identity had been stolen and that Apple Security had detected unusual activity, including child pornography. The scam began March 20, when Cooke was told he was able to withdraw $36,000 from his bank and deposit it into a Bitcoin ATM, a form of digital currency that exists only online and isn't controlled by a bank or government. After the deposit, Cooke was then pressured to withdraw more money from another bank. Cooke decided not to send more money and instead contacted a real Chase Bank representative, Richard Lee, who claimed money had been removed from his accounts and told him there was a way to get it back. The FBI urges people to take a beat, watch for red flags, resist pressure, and think before sending money or personal information.
