EC Police Warn of Local Bitcoin Scam

Eau Claire Police report that they stopped elderly people from losing thousands of dollars to bitcoin scammers. 

Police stopped one individual on Monday just as they were about to lose ten thousand dollars to a telephone scammer and — on Tuesday — they caught up with another victim and were able to help them two recover about nine-thousand dollars of the twelve-thousand that they had sent through.  Police say they will be posting messages at area bitcoin machines this week to warn folks of possible scams.
