Hamilton Police Service joined forces with the Federal Bureau of InvestigationsConst. Indy Bharaj told CTV News Toronto it stated a victim, located somewhere in the U.S., was tricked into losing $4.2-million worth of Ethereum and Bitcoin to two Canadian teens, who went by the aliases Felon and Gaze.Hamilton police confirmed the investigation never happened and that the email was not sent out by them.
“We just started investigating into it, but it seems like it was sent Monday, July 3, in the evening, just after five o’clock,” Bharaj said. “It was made to look similar to our media releases, just some of the information that was put in there, when you look at it closely, is not how we write. It was a little too much information, almost way too much information that would have evidentiary value in the actual media release.”“Hamilton Police recognize the public’s trust in the police is very important and incidents like this can cause the community to second guess police communication,” the release reads.
Anyone with information is asked to call Hamilton police’s Technology Crime Unit at 905-546-4793 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
