WOODBRIDGE, CT (WFSB) - A Woodbridge couple lost more than one million dollars in a cryptocurrency investment scam. Local and federal authorities are now investigating as there are dozens of victims across the country.
It’s a complex scam that starts out with something simple: a text or message from a stranger. Amos Jiang from Woodbridge received a text in August. He says the person had the wrong number but wanted to learn more about what it’s like to move to the United States from China. A friendship formed, and then that friend told Amos about an investment opportunity in cryptocurrency.
