Monika Zytowiecka, a 38-year-old beautician, lost nearly £4,000 in a cryptocurrency scam after responding to a Facebook ad for a part-time side hustle. The scheme involved making online orders to boost business ratings, requiring her to repeatedly 'top up' her budget with her own money. Despite reporting the scam, both her bank and Action Fraud stated they couldn't assist her. Monika warns others to be cautious of similar scams.
