Crypto holder nearly loses all BTC after spoofed call from 'Canadian police'

  • —Scammers spoofed a Vancouver police number and knew his Ledger and Trezor wallet details
  • —The first call lasted 45 minutes, followed by a second call posing as Trezor support
  • —The fraud was exposed after he checked the email address and spotted a small discrepancy
  • —The victim fears a physical attack because scammers hold his personal data
Why it matters: The case highlights how leaked wallet data is making social-engineering attacks on crypto holders increasingly convincing.
