Watch out! Crypto scammers targeting Asian women!

By Junee | What the biz? | 27 Aug 2022


This is something you don't hear everyday. Crypto scammers targeting Asian women, typically on online dating apps. These ladies end up being swindled by scammers pretending to be eligible males showing romantic interest. Buggers!

As I was browsing through crypto scam news articles, I was surprised to find a subset of these articles with a theme--Asian women falling prey to young, seemingly eligible men showing romantic interest, who then convince these ladies to transfer their funds for a certain very attractive crypto investment. This is no doubt an old trick, but on a 21st technology and currency.

There is a case where a Tennessee woman who lost $390K; and this where a Massachusetts woman lost $2.5 million. These scams aren't happening just in the US; Japanese women fell prey as well. 

Beware of scammers and swindlers.
