SENIORS VS. CRIME: Online search result lands on phony phone number

2 weeks ago | clintonherald.com | Randy Meier

A Clinton man came within moments of losing over $10,000 to a Bitcoin kiosk after his online search for a phone number landed him on a phony website. I like to use his story because it pulls together several threads commonplace in ScamWorld. David (not his real name) is a seventy-plus-year-old man and subscribes to streaming services through Roku. He received notice of a planned price increase in one of the streaming channels to which he subscribed. David decided to cancel that channel subscription.
