Imagine sending your home address to a friend because she wants to send you a get-well-soon package. Only to wake up one morning and hear that six men have been looking for you outside your house. This is what makes this story scary. According to the lady’s account, she was sick and had travelled when her friend offered to send her a package. She sent her address because she trusted her. But something about the delivery rider didn’t feel right, so she cancelled the delivery. She thought that was the end of it. Until Sunday morning. She said her mum and sister woke her up in panic. Six men were allegedly outside their compound, showing people her video and asking for her. Their claim? That she had stolen $21K in crypto. According to her, things got worse when the men allegedly tried to force their way into the house. Imagine your mum and sister watching strangers trying to enter your home because of a crypto dispute. All this because of money and allegations that still need to be properly established. If someone steals your money, report them. Gather your evidence. Let the proper authorities handle it. But nobody should have to fear for their life over a crypto dispute. The scary part is that, according to her, the person who allegedly set things in motion was someone she considered a friend. Web3 is already full of financial risks. You shouldn’t also have to fear the people you trust. Be careful who you share your personal information with. What’s your take on this? Where should we draw the line between exposing someone and putting their safety at risk?
