more cryptocrap.
FTX woes: 'I'm waiting to get £2,000 back from crypto giant'
600M went missing just before the bankruptcy.
I'm guessing Argentina as the penalties for financial fraud in the US can be severe unlike the GB where you start all over again!

So I want a new fishfinder/ sonar for the boat second hand units as are all marine electronics are ridiculously expensive and new ,wow. But I seach and find a fantastic offer from adinose.us,its great too great ,a tenth of the cost of the competition in fact exactly a tenth of the cost. In fact they sell just about everthing you can imagine and its all a tenth of the competition , just a decimal shift to the left. So I go on scam-detector.com who rate this company at 0 out of 100, its only existed since late oct 2022, appears to only exist on line with no address or any form of contact details.But if you feel courageous they will take your paypal details, I will pass thanks.

I would have thought the obvious concern would be fraudsters sending out fake text messages claiming to be from the police. I can only see more grief coming from this.

Average money lost is just under £800, however one lost £3 Mil !!!!!
I suppose anything under ££££ is easier for fraudsters.
The real questions
1) how could fraudsters withdraw large amount of money from their beneficiaries accounts? I thought most banks have daily limit for withdrawals
2) how will the bank return money to victims from seized fraudsters accounts?

Wouldn't be my first choice of bolthole, but each to his own.
Looking at the crypto business he was running, From a $116 high in April, a Terra coin is now worth less than $0.0002.

BlockFi said it was seeking court protection to restructure, settle its debts and recover money for investors.
So there's nothing to worry about then?

Crypto is just a ponzi scheme? Crypto has no inherent value likes shares, property, currency, loans. It's pure speculation not a good or even bad investment.

a dog groomer in North Yorkshire, had given her Virgin Money bank details to a fraudulent website that she thought was legitimate while online shopping. A few weeks later, the 55-year-old got a phone call from a man claiming to be from the Virgin Money fraud department.
The fraudster said her bank account was under attack, and persuaded her to download some software that allowed him to take control of her computer. The fraudster, who kept reassuring her that she was safe, asked her about her other accounts, and got her to transfer money out of her 12 Revolut "vaults". This included savings that had taken years to build up for her grandson, and for a holiday in the US.
She lost more than £8,000 from Revolut alone, along with funds from her Virgin Money account. While this was happening, she got warnings from Revolut, but the fraudster did not give her time to read them. He knew they were coming, and told her he was sending them. "I was allowing everything to go through, just thinking it was safe," she said.
And after all that - She expected the electronic money firm to refund her but it refused
