A victim in Michigan lost $9,500 to a sophisticated scam where the fraudster impersonated law enforcement, claiming there was an active arrest warrant. This is a stark reminder of how scammers weaponize authority and fear to manipulate people into quick transactions. The tactic preys on panic—victims don't think twice when they believe legal trouble is coming. If you ever receive such calls or messages demanding immediate payment, always verify directly with official agencies before acting. In the crypto space, this kind of social engineering is even more dangerous since transactions are irreversible. Stay alert and share this story with your network—awareness is the best defense.
