A costly mistake for a Chatham resident.
According to police, a woman received a call from someone claiming to be from Canada Border Patrol, and following their instructions, withdrew $18,500 from her bank account and deposited the money in a local Bitcoin machine.
Chatham-Kent Police remind everyone that digital currency is not legal currency, you cannot pay a tax bill with Bitcoin, and no government or agency will ever ask for funds in cryptocurrency.
