A cancer victim says he has been scammed out of his savings in an elaborate cryptocurrency scheme. Tom Roberts, 66, was gutted when he lost £10,000 of his retirement money and has now spoken out to warn others against investing in the “scam”.
He said: “It is embarrassing – you don’t want to tell anyone because they will think you are an idiot but this is all in hindsight. These people have to be stopped. I want to expose this company and make sure it doesn’t happen to anyone else.”
Tom, from Kirkcaldy, is one in a group of about 30 people who claim to have been affected by the alleged scam run by Safe Holdings, a company registered in the Caribbean. It claims to use state-of-the-art trading software to analyse the cryptocurrency market and make profitable investments.
