They claim she has 7 drug charges against her and they need her to send them bitcoin to verify the money is hers. I tell her it's a scam but she doesn't 100% believe me so another customer tells her the same. She hangs up the call again. She is till not 100% sure. We tell her to hang up, and then she calls the RCMP. Finally she believed it's a scam. She was almost crying.
She had taken all her money from her bank and had driven to Nanaimo from Parksville with her daughter to use the machine.
I can't believe people fall for this shit.
