However, when he was having problems buying a certain type of Cryptocurrency he called customer support. Or so he thought. He needed access to my computer, so I gave him access to my computer and it was a big mistake. I gave him the password, said Dejrit.
So you gave a stranger access to your computer and by the word "password" probably the password to the wallet.
Since we assume he was having trouble buying "a certain" type I am thinking an ICO scam or some really shady coin traded on it's own exchange.
But, this looks a bit far fetched and knowing the source of the articles which is usually 99% clickbait I assume we have less than 2% chances of the story being real.
That's not really the fault of the cryptocurrency or any exchange, that's the fault of him. He didn't do enough research and gave away passwords to a random stranger. Fake support line? Sorry, I hate hearing stories like that but it's not right to blame crypto
This stuff about the "fake support line" got me thinking this is a made up story.
And the fact that the only other place where the story is share (by the same author) is steemit where a lot of lies are told for money.
