Don't Fall for Cryptocurrency Scams

Does this sound familiar? 

• Are you being encouraged to send cryptocurrency to repair a virus on your computer? 
• Have you been told the only way to protect your money is making deposits to cryptocurrency ATM's?
• Did someone ask you to lie to the bank or keep the reason for your cryptocurrency purchase a secret?
• Are you in a relationship with someone online who is asking you to send them cryptocurrency purchased at an ATM?
• Has someone promised you high returns on a cryptocurrency investment?
• Has someone representing a government agency or law enforcement organization demanded you provide cryptocurrency to satisfy a warrant, a fine, or to post a bond for a relative in jail or prison?

STOP! IT'S A SCAM!

Scammers use cryptocurrencies because the transactions are irreversible and hard to trace. Do not send any money. 

If you believe you have been the victim of a scam or are unsure whether someone is trying to scam you, please call the Naperville Police Department at (630) 420-6666.
