Tourist Drugged in London, Loses $123K in Crypto via Uber Ride đđ
A US tourist lost $123,000 in $BTC and $XRP after a seemingly normal Uber ride in London turned into a nightmare.
Hereâs what happened:
âą The Uber driver offered him a cigarette â laced with a suspected drug.
âą Under the influence, the victim revealed his phone PIN and gave access to his Revolut wallet.
âą Within hours, his entire crypto balance was wiped out.
$123,000 gone.
All because of a casual smoke and zero operational security.
Let this be a hard reminder:
âą Never unlock your wallet in front of strangers
âą Donât store serious funds in hot wallets or app accounts
âą Always use 2FA, face ID, and cold storage for large holdings
Crypto gives you full control â but full control comes with full responsibility.

Drop your take: was this just a freak incident or a sign that we need way better security awareness in crypto? đđ
