Scammers have stolen over $2 million in cryptocurrency by deceiving individuals seeking remote job opportunities. Victims received unsolicited text messages promising well-paying jobs reviewing products online for market data. To start earning, they were instructed to open cryptocurrency accounts and maintain specific balances. Instead of receiving their investments plus commission, the funds were diverted into the scammers' digital wallets. Seven victims from New York, Virginia, and Florida were identified, including a New York resident who lost $100,000 and a Florida woman who lost $300,000. Attorney General Letitia James seeks to recover the stolen funds, emphasizing the cruelty of exploiting job seekers. Working with the Queens District Attorney's cryptocurrency unit, they have managed to trace and freeze the stolen crypto assets, aiming for restitution to the victims.
