For years, Delinda Johnson Smith believed luck had often been on her side. Whether she was enjoying a successful game of bingo or navigating life's ups and downs, she accepted that fortunes could change. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you do not. But nothing prepared her for a phone call that would leave her almost $2,500 out of pocket.
The Richmond, Virginia, resident says scammers posing as Apple Support persuaded her to stay on the phone while they gained access to her finances. Within a short time, thousands of dollars had allegedly been transferred and used to buy Bitcoin through Cash App. Now, she hopes telling her story will stop someone else from becoming the next victim.
