Schwab, crypto, alleged fraud and an elderly couple's $18.5M loss
In July of this year, Lawrence Liu saw a pop-up warning appear on his computer telling him his Schwab accounts were under attack.
Liu was provided with a phone number ostensibly for a Schwab employee who could help him protect his assets. The scammer advised Liu to move his and his wife's assets to other institutions for safekeeping.
A person familiar with the case said Schwab did reach out to the police after the fraud occurred. Law enforcement officers visited Lawrence Liu only to be told his assets had been transferred for "investment purposes."
A spokesperson for Schwab said, "We sympathize with the Liu family, and we hope the criminals who stole their money are brought to justice. But the allegations in the complaint cross the line from advocacy to outright falsity."
The spokesperson added, "The Liu family authorized every wire that left Schwab, and each wire went to an account that the Liu family controlled."

先挂断电话。不要回拨电话,即使电话号码与官方号码是一样的。来电显示的电话号码,有可能不是真正的链接电话。用银行卡上的号码拨打给银行,或用劵商交易平台上官方电话号码打给券商。银行等公司有系统纪录所有的电话联系活动。很容易验证你收到的电话是真是假。
如果怎么轻易受骗,他们也不可能积攒到30米的财富, 不等到30米,就会被光了。
当然也有另一种可能,你懂的!。
两点需要提前准备:
1。和孩子们的沟通,也考虑孩子的个性和对投资的了解。
2。孩子自己的经济状况,越好越不在乎爹妈的钱。
就是可能管不过来
