Crypto scam on elderly man [CAN]
An elderly man was likely scammed out of 7k CAD through a crypto 'investment firm' scam. 27k USDC is stored in a private Crypto.com Unchained wallet on his phone, with no transaction history. Scammers are pressuring him to deposit 1.03 ETH for gas fees, while the wallet shows a 'proxy pattern detected' security alert.
