Officer Stops $9K Bitcoin Scam on Elderly Woman | Wilmington News
An 89-year-old woman narrowly avoided losing $9,000 after falling for a scam pretending to be Geek Squad. A vigilant police officer spotted her at a Bitcoin ATM, intervened, and helped her realize the fraud—then escorted her to Best Buy and her bank to recover her money. Grateful beyond words, she called him a “Godsend” and even invited him to her 90th birthday. This case warns everyone: never pay unexpected bills via Bitcoin or gift cards—legitimate companies won’t ask for it.
