A man from Rochester lost $14,300 in a cryptocurrency scam after receiving a text about suspicious charges on his bank account. Believing it was legitimate, he called the provided number and was directed to download an app granting scammers access to his phone. Under the guise of securing his account, they convinced him to transfer money into a cryptocurrency account, which they then emptied. Authorities are urging people to be cautious of unsolicited messages, avoid clicking unknown links, and never share sensitive information or download apps from unverified sources. The incident highlights the increasing sophistication of such scams.
