MIDDLEBURG HEIGHTS, Ohio –
Fraud: Sprague Road
A Sprague Road man, 36, was defrauded of $25,000 through an internet bitcoin scam.
The man told police June 17 he had been trading cryptocurrency online when he discovered a Twitter account called CryptoKaleo. That account led him to a crypto trading guide. He spoke with the trader with the CryptoKaleo account and started copying his trades.
After a while, CryptoKaleo stopped responding to the man so he returned to Twitter and followed another trader with an account called Credibull Crypto. He began following and speaking with the trader.
