然後，在八月，其中一名犯罪者據稱使用了“未經授權的谷歌帳戶訪問”通知發送給受害者，這使得它看起來像是來自國外。

From there, a member called the man and claimed to be from Google’s security team and asked him about his unauthorized access attempt.

從那裡，一名自稱來自谷歌安全團隊的成員給該男子打電話，詢問他未經授權的訪問嘗試。

這使得他們能夠訪問他的 Google Drive 來獲取他的財務信息，從而能夠找到他的加密貨幣交易帳戶。

They then called the man back and Serrano pretended to be part of the crypto exchange team from Gemini’s support team, while the group planned on Discord and Telegram ways to ‘manipulate the victim into providing private keys to his virtual currency holdings and enough computer access for the conspirators to steal his entire savings.’

然後他們給了這名男子電話，塞拉諾假裝是Gemini 支援團隊的加密貨幣交易團隊的一員，而該組織計劃透過Discord 和Telegram 的方式「操縱受害者提供其虛擬貨幣持有的私鑰以及足夠的電腦存取權限」。陰謀者偷走了他的全部積蓄。

可悲的是，據檢察官稱，他們設法誘騙該男子將一些東西下載到他的電腦上，從而使他們能夠即時訪問他的桌面。

While Serrano got the man to open private folders containing bitcoin, the others quickly stole its contents, which were then split five ways for each person.
