The woman's ordeal began in August when she encountered a pop-up message on her laptop, falsely claiming the device had been hacked.

该名女子的磨难始于八月，当时她在笔记本电脑上遇到弹出式消息时，错误地声称该设备已被黑客入侵。

The message displayed a Microsoft logo and a phone number to call for help.

"Thankfully, because the victim notified authorities quickly and BCI's specialized unit was able to intervene, most of the stolen money will be returned to the victim."

总检察长约斯特说：“此案强调了加密罪犯用来欺骗受害者的精心陷阱以及它可能产生的毁灭性财务影响。” “值得庆幸的是，由于受害人迅速通知了当局，而BCI的专业部门能够干预，因此大部分被盗的钱将退还给受害者。”

Police Chief Braun added, "We are grateful for the assistance provided by BCI's Electronic Financial Investigations unit in this case. Their expertise and collaborative approach in investigating electronic fraud and recovering stolen funds were invaluable. This partnership strengthens our ability to protect and support our community from scams like these."

警察局长布劳恩补充说：“我们感谢BCI的电子金融调查部门在这种情况下提供的帮助。他们在调查电子欺诈和收回被盗资金方面的专业知识和协作方法是无价的。这种伙伴关系增强了我们保护和支持我们的社区免受这样的骗局的能力。”
