Two Canadians have lost a combined $2.3 million after falling victim to separate cryptocurrency scams, highlighting the growing sophistication of online fraud. In one case, an investor was lured through social media into a fake trading platform that showed fabricated profits, prompting larger deposits before funds vanished. Another victim was deceived by fraudsters posing as legitimate crypto advisers. Police warn that scammers increasingly exploit trust, urgency and unfamiliar technology, urging investors to verify platforms and avoid unsolicited investment offers.
