Sioux Falls, SD (KELO.com) — Yet another Sioux Falls person falls victim to an on-line scam. Police say a woman was contacted by someone posing as an FBI agent, who instructed her to move some money into an account he provided. She transferred 48-thousand dollars and later another $5,500 into bitcoin.
Then, this past week, Information Officer Sergeant Aaron Benson says she was instructed to move money from a retirement account. As in previous cases, it isn’t likely police will be able to track the money and return it to the victim. Benson says instructions to transfer money to outside accounts and using cryptocurrency is almost always a scam.
