Episode Details

A victim lost $32,500 in a terrifying phone scam after being told they had a warrant for failing to appear in federal court. The scammer pressured them to pay via a Bitcoin kiosk at a gas station, then demanded a second payment from a “Kraus” to avoid arrest. When the victim finally went to the sheriff’s office, they were told there was no warrant—law enforcement never asks for money over the phone, especially through crypto or payment apps. Authorities are investigating and urging everyone to stay vigilant.
