Norwegians are falling victim to a scam in which they’re induced to purchase gold and then leave it in forests or public parks. The scam, according to Finans Norge, involves the scammers persuading their victims to purchase gold that they promise to keep safe on their behalf. According to an ABC Nyheter interview, a meeting will then be planned between the victim and the scammer. The scammer will then claim they’re unable to make the meeting, and the victim will be encouraged to leave it somewhere in public.
