Scam Prevention Guide

A reddit report about a impersonation scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Neither she nor her partner believe they have been scammed. On Friday, she received a call saying that she had been scammed and that her account had been closed. She stated that a man directed her to go to town and withdraw money from her account and then he instructed her on how to purchase bitcoin and what to do with it to keep it safe. I still do not know wha she did with it because he said for her not to tell anyone. She feels like she was on the phone with the FBI fraud department all day long, but I am skeptical. Especially being that this occurred on a Friday and ended at the close of banking where she was stuck for the weekend without any resolution. Am I wrong to believe this is a scam?
