The post Crypto scammers Steal $2M from New Yorkers Promising Remote Jobs appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Scammers targeted New York residents with fake remote job offers, stealing over $2 million in cryptocurrency. Victims were instructed to buy stablecoins like USDT and USDC on platforms such as Coinbase and send them to unhosted wallets. The scammers convinced them to write fake reviews for non-existent products in exchange for promised job opportunities. New York Attorney General Letitia James, alongside the Queens DA and U.S. Secret Service, is working to recover the funds, with some assets already frozen. One victim lost $100,000. James urged New Yorkers to remain cautious of suspicious job offers and report any scams to her office.
