The victim described the moment when he realized he'd been scammed: "Like a pit in my stomach. How could I be so stupid?" Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Pennsylvania state police are investigating two alleged cryptocurrency scams reported within the past two months in Delaware County. One victim tells Action News he's out tens of thousands of dollars. He asked that we hide his identity. "It seemed like a really good way to make some extra money because I am retired," the victim told Action News Investigative Reporter Chad Pradelli. He says a friend referred him to a financial opportunity: day trade cryptocurrency.
