Two New Jersey residents have lost $54,000 after scammers talked one into handing over cash and pushed another into a Bitcoin deposit.<\/p>\n

Franklin Township police outline the cases in a blotter covering August 30th through September 5th, reports<\/a> TAPinto Franklin Township.<\/p>\n

In one case, a Somerset resident was on her computer helping a family member with suspected account fraud when an unknown person seized control of the machine and moved on her bank account.<\/p>\n

The suspect told her to put $29,500 into a Bitcoin account, and she complied before realizing it was a scam.<\/p>\n

Police say the family member lost another $12,000 in the same scheme.<\/p>\n

In a separate bank-impersonation hit reported September 2nd, someone posing as the victim\u2019s bank warned about fake fraudulent transactions and told her to pull out $24,500 so those transfers could not go through.<\/p>\n

She was then told to give the cash to a transportation service that would hold it as evidence, and she handed the $24,500 to a man in a white sedan before learning she had been scammed.<\/p>\n

A third resident reported transferring $1,020 through Cash App after texts claimed to come from her bank.<\/p>\n

Police say residents should call their bank themselves when they get urgent money warnings and should never buy crypto or hand cash to strangers based on an unsolicited call or text.<\/p>\n
