Warning: Vancouver Police Alert Residents of Bitcoin Email Scam
The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) is warning the public about a new scam that is circulating through email. This scam involves extortion attempts where the sender threatens to release sensitive information unless they are paid in Bitcoin.
It’s important to be vigilant and cautious when receiving unsolicited emails asking for money or personal information. If you receive an email like this, do not respond or engage with the sender. Instead, report it to the authorities immediately.
