Vancouver, BC, June 25, 2020--The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, or RCMP, in Burnaby, have reported a surge of Bitcoin (BTC) related scams across the city. Authorities say scammers call their victim and impersonate a member of the RCMP. The scammer then falsely states that the police have an arrest warrant for the victim related to fraudulent activity. The scammer then requests a payment, saying that the funds must be deposited via a Bitcoin ATM.
