Experts are warning of the rising threat of cryptocurrency fraud, after the scams rose by 23% last year. And today, we're joined by someone who knows just how dangerous they are. Lisa - whose identity we're protecting - invested in a scheme on social media, which she believed was backed by Martin Lewis. But things quickly spiralled - and before she knew it, scammers had stolen £40,000 from her account. Scared and too embarrassed to tell her friends and family, Lisa reached out to Trading Standards, where she was helped by scams officer Janet Quinn. They both join us this morning to share the shocking story, as well as their tips for protecting yourself.

We need some kind of internet safety training for older adults - perhaps in workplaces or something? - to prevent this from happening, because as a younger person who's grown up on the internet it feels obvious to me that these are scams, but clearly for some other people this isnt the case and we need to make sure theyre protected too !!!

@pennyspamzlol Месяц назад

scammer used her details to mass-take out loans. The "cypto app/site" is always fake and just for show. Sometimes scammers also engage in money laundering, its possible she received money into her actual bank (illegal money) and was instructed to send it to a random person (a chain of money muels, back to the key scammer. it muddies the trail of the money to protect the scammer and instead muels and scam victims can get into legal trouble)

It's shocking the ways people can be scammed. I work in banking and one of my colleagues had a customer who had some building work being done. A complete stranger in a van came up to the customer who is an elderly woman, and said she needed to pay him for the building work and she said she had no cash so he said he would take her to a cash point. She then got into this stranger's van and withdrew money for him. Thankfully he dropped her back home and nothing else happened. Please look out for your elderly family members.

@monicas2269 26 дней назад

Something similar happened to an elderly cousin of mine. Workmen gave her a price for clearing part of her garden, then said it would be more. She went to the bank and mentioned why she needed the money and the lady at the counter phoned the police straight away. The men were caught and taken to court.

I think if she got clickbaited on RU-vid, then RU-vid should reimburse her loss, because RU-vid published the scam. So this should be very straight forward. All these scammers are using legit advertising platforms (RU-vid, Google, Facebook). So advertising platforms should pay for these scams.

Think about this. To be a Doctor, Lawyer, Accountant, Engineer, you have to spend years to get your qualification or Chartership to practice, then if you commit malpractice you are disbard from working as a qualified professional again. Yet, anyone can give you financial advice or control your lifetime pension with little or no qualifications. Why not introduce a new Chartership which takes years to qualify and then tell the country, only invest through these people.

@rafezetter8003 Месяц назад

That's not even REMOTELY TRUE Actual REAL Financial Advisors are monitored and checked for "suitability" EVERY SINGLE YEAR. I was in the Financial services and my Father was as well for over 40 years AND WE BOTH HAD TO TAKE COMPLIANCE EXAMS EVERY YEAR TO CONTINUE TO BE ALLOWED TO PRACTISE. If we failed on ANY PART we were given a second chance within a month, if we failed again WE LOST OUR LICENCE. You have NO IDEA what you're talking about.

Firstly, the advert is from 2017 so that would ring alarm bells too. I would question if the "deal" back then would even still be valid in 2023/2024. If it sounds too good to be true then it is. Unfortunately people just trust far too easily, rather than doing their own research. Also, the fact that she was too scared to tell her husband suggests that there was a part of her that knew something was not right about the whole thing.
