币界网报道:A British Columbia woman lost CA$60,000 in a sophisticated bank courier scam involving cryptocurrency. The victim received a call from fraudsters impersonating her bank's fraud department, claiming suspicious transactions on her account. They instructed her to withdraw funds and hand them to a fake "courier" for "safekeeping," promising reimbursement. The scammers then directed her to transfer additional funds via cryptocurrency to a supposed "secure account." Authorities warn that such scams often involve urgent requests, impersonation of trusted institutions, and pressure to use irreversible payment methods like crypto. The RCMP advises verifying any unexpected financial requests through official channels before acting. This case highlights growing concerns over crypto-related fraud in Canada, where investment scams surged 84% in 2022 according to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
