Romance, cryptocurrency scam costs Alberta woman hundreds of thousands of dollars

An Alberta woman who was looking for love online has told Global News not only did she end up heartbroken; she also ended up broke.

Sheryl, who we’re not identifying due to safety concerns, said it began last July when she started online dating.

The 37-year-old ended up connecting with a man who said his name was Yang and he was from Los Angeles. It was an immediate connection.

As Tomasia DaSilva reports, things changed when Yang started to offer advice to invest in cryptocurrency.
