BCI Recovers $36,000 for Butler County Woman Scammed in Cryptocurrency Scheme

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) has successfully recovered and returned more than $36,000 to a 67-year-old Butler County woman who was defrauded in a cryptocurrency scam.

According to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Butler County Prosecutor Michael T., the recovery was a result of a thorough investigation.

"Technology drives innovation, but sometimes cybercriminals are behind the wheel," Yost said. "While we can help after the fact, your best defense is to be skeptical anytime a stranger asks you to make a financial transaction."

The scam began on December, with the woman losing a significant amount of money.

The successful recovery of funds highlights the importance of vigilance in financial transactions.
