Sajid Ikram, 49, is an IT entrepreneur living in Canada. This is an edited version of his story, as told to CNA Insider.EDMONTON, Canada: Actually, the scammers didn’t reach out to me first.
I was the one who added one of them.It all started in August last year when Facebook recommended a Nydia Chen to me as one of the “people you may know”.
And I’m like, “Why does Facebook think I should connect with this person?”To find out, I added her as a friend.We chatted a little via Facebook and, when I asked her what she did, she replied that she was a cryptocurrency analyst.
That’s probably why Facebook connected us.I live in Edmonton, Canada, and I’ve been in the technology industry my whole life.
