Police say an Eagan, Minnesota, couple in their 70s was one screen away from losing $125,000 on Monday.
The couple believed the Federal Trade Commission had contacted them to help them move their life savings over to Bitcoin.
“The elderly couple come in, and I did notice that they went straight to the machine,” Roy Solis with Farmer’s Grandson Eatery said. “And so I didn’t say anything, but the one young lady that was here with her two friends, she did come up to me, and she said, ‘I think there’s two people over there getting scammed right now.'”…
