硅谷华人被骗经历

这位化名CY的华人说，自己被骗的过程从2021年10月份开始，当时一位被他认为是自己以前的同事的华人在WhatsApp上接近他。CY说当时因为面临病危的父亲，自己非常脆弱。这位自称叫Jessica的“前女同事”赢得了他的信任。

CY描述，Jessica当时每天给他发信息，持续了一个月。在了解到他垂死的父亲之后，她为他提供了一个使用加密货币的机会（Cryptocurrency），以帮助他支付丧葬费用。CY当时没有告诉他的家人。

CY说他有金融和财会的背景，所以自己非常小心，一开始只是投资了5000块和10000块去看看这个加密货币机会是如何运作的。

CY从他的银行里把钱转到一个合法的加密交易网站。这些钱最终到了一个Jessica发给他的平台，以进行交易。Jessica发给他的这个平台看起来是合法的，但是CY最终学习到，那是假的！

它看起来是完全真实的，合法的，我没有理由怀疑它是伪造的。

四天以后，CY的父亲过世，他投入的五万块也打了水漂。但是Jessica告诉他，他可以把钱赚回来。CY此时依然认为加密货币交易是真的，而且Jessica鼓励他投入更多的资金去把损失的钱赚回来。当时CY的个人账户里已经是负的65000，不过他想办法贷款了20万，还从他的小舅子那里借了10万。

然后，2021年12月3日，他所有的投资全部不见了！

老夫妻被骗$150,000

'We lost everything': Stickney deacon, wife scammed out of $150K in phishing scheme

STICKNEY, Ill. (WLS) -- A local deacon and his wife say they lost more than $150,000 in an elaborate scheme known as phishing.

The couple said their entire retirement savings are gone and are now hoping to warn others to think twice before you open an email.

It started with the click of a link. Now, it's a case that has the attention of the FBI.

The senior couple from Stickney said they are speaking out to alert others and praying they'll get at least some of their money back.

His wife Margaret said she received an email on her phone from what she thought was an antivirus company, thanking her for her recent purchase.

"I said, 'I didn't order this. I'm not going to be charged $400 for something," Margaret said.

She said she clicked a link in the email, saw a phone number and called the company to dispute what she believed was an inaccurate charge.

Margret said a representative agreed to issue a refund. Then, he said he made an error, claiming to have accidentally refunded her $40,000 instead of just $400.

She said when she checked her bank account, there it was.

"There's $40,000. It's in there, he needs it back," Margaret said.

Margaret said the person instructed her to wire the $40,000 back to him -- and fast -- so that he wouldn't get fired.

Margaret said she went to her bank and wired the money as instructed.

"After that, I felt that should be the end of it, but it wasn't," she said.

She said the man called back, saying the wire didn't go through. So, she wired more money and he said that didn't go through either -- so, she sent more.

In the end, Margaret said she transferred more than $150,000.

"I was sick. That's my nest egg. I was scared," she said.

Her husband said when he learned about what happened, he called the bank and the police right away.
