Six Charged in Crypto Scam That Used Fake Women's Profiles to Lure Americans

If you think they're your girlfriend, you're in big trouble because they're cheating on you with about 100 other victims. We're here today to warn the public about a highly sophisticated and increasingly common form of cryptocurrency investment fraud. The scammer creates a profile of attractive women on dating sites. They initiate contact, they build a relationship, and then they actually get them to invest in an NFT. The scammer shares details about her life. She sends short videos as well as audio clips that she's created to follow through on the scams. Short videos and voice messages do not prove that someone is real or legitimate. They are being pre-recorded and they are being reused. We have charged six defendants and we have not only charged them, but our embassy has delivered to Madagascar our official request to extradite. We're calling on the Malagasy government to give us the witnesses, to give us the evidence, and to give us the defendants.
