#New York Attorney General Recovers $2.2 Million in Cryptocurrency#

New York Attorney General Letitia James recently took legal action to recover $2.2 million in cryptocurrency stolen from victims in a scam. The scam involved scammers sending text messages to New York residents promising high-paying, flexible work opportunities, enticing victims to buy cryptocurrency before stealing their crypto assets. In a statement, James said the scammers used text messages to lure victims with promises of work opportunities, but their true intent was to steal their cryptocurrency. Working with the U.S. Secret Service, James has successfully frozen the stolen crypto. She reminded the public to be cautious of text messages from unknown senders, especially suspicious messages promising work or other opportunities. This case serves as a reminder to remain vigilant when investing in cryptocurrency to avoid becoming a victim of scams.
